Three outstanding classes of YUU were selected for the Ministry of Education’s ‘New 2021 Korea Massive Online Open Class (http://www.kmooc.kr/, hereinafter ‘K-MOOC’).’
An evaluation committee composed of MOOC experts and experts of each academic major made comprehensive assessments on the institutional operational capacity and excellence of classes for selecting the new classes. A total of three classes of YU were selected such as ▲Story of Dokdo Examined with History and Natural Ecology (Professor Park Sun-joo and 5 others) ▲Korean Culture through K-Contents (Professor Nam Mi-young and 4 others) ▲Understanding of Multi-cultural Korean Society for Foreigners (Professor Jung Yong-gyo and 2 others). A total of 210 million KRW will be provided with national funding.
Starting with the selection of the K-MOOC pilot operation project in 2015, YU was then selected as a KMOOC leading university in 2016 and about 13,000 students studied in a total of 9 classes. It has also been operating the K-MOOC study club for two years to support student capacities in their majors and general education through online learning.
YU Education Development Center Director Cho Haeng-rae said, “With this selection of K-MOOC individual classes, the outstanding lectures of YU will be provided within and outside of the school, and we will continue making various efforts to offer optimal education in the post-corona era.”
