THE MARITIME ENGLISH MOOC: USING THE MOOC TECHNOLOGY TO FLIP THE CLASSROOM Le MOOC Anglais maritime : utiliser la technologie des MOOC pour inverser la classe En Fr

Résumé En

In today's time of economic constraints, class hours are being cut in many MET institutions and academic staff is required to bring students to at least the same results as they used to, but in fewer hours of class. Despite these facts, we have chosen to spend some class time in individual oral examination of officers of the watch, because we felt that if the students' capacity to actually "do the job" was never assessed in simulated communications, their certification would have no value. The solution we proposed relies on the principles of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) to "flip" the classroom, moving lessons and the transmissive part of the training out of the classroom, so that more practice time was made available in class. This article will first describe the organization of the course, and then explain how (and with which digital tools) it was implemented. A final part will try to assess the efficiency of the new course in comparison with its previous form.
