Abstract: Since the second half of 2012, MOOC has spread quickly and widely across China. So, what impacts does it have on traditional higher education？ By reviewing the history of online education and discussing the fundamental laws of education, I try to show that MOOC is not a newborn thing, but it has a newborn strength. Even though MOOC cannot change the underlying form of education, it does have a significant influence on our educational concept, methodology and consumption ideas. In this paper, I also discuss several educational views about MOOC teaching,pointing out the flaws existing in these views.

Key words: MOOC, educational idea, educational methodology, operating mode, thinking
