From October to December 2014, XJTU Faculty Teaching Development Center organized specialists to audit microcourses coursewares, study the microcourse teaching and production, and identified three criteria for microcourse quality assessment. The first is whether the teaching method and design is appealing to learners. The second is whether the teaching contents could be understood and mastered by learners. The third is whether the teaching approach follows logic so as to provoke the learners' independent thinking. The center also hosted tutoring and training sessions and finance relevant activities of different schools. XJTU also sponsored the first microcourse teaching competition. After that, the Center organized tutorial sessions and assist in professional shooting to ensure quality of those works for the national competition.
