The Application of the Mosoteach-based Mobile Interactive Teaching Mode in Literature Reading and Discussion of the Molecular Biology Course

Graduate education emphasizes the development of students’ scientific research and innovation abilities. Literature reading and discussion (LRD) plays an active role in the development of innovative thinking and critical thinking for graduate students. However, in traditional, large molecular biology classes, the effective implementation of large-scale, collective LRD presents a great challenge. Mosoteach is a cloud-based free app designed specifically for education with powerful human-computer interaction and human-human interaction functions. In the present study, LRD was introduced into a molecular biology course for graduate students and was conducted via the Mosoteach app. The online discussion board in the Mosoteach cloud class was restricted to enrolled students and was designated the private online discussion board (PODB). The PODB built a sense of community for students and was an effective approach for organizing and facilitating discussion in large classes. Small-group learning in LRD was helpful to understand the literature and foster collaboration and discussion. Overall, we demonstrated that Mosoteach-based LRD was helpful in improving student learning outcomes. The relationship between student learning style and engagement, satisfaction and academic performance in cloud classes merits further investigation.
