摘要

Both leisure education and massive open online courses (MOOCs) are becoming popular issues today. Can we apply MOOCs to leisure education? By way of literature review, this paper justifies the proposition that MOOCs can be a worthwhile and beneficial vehicle for leisure education. The aims of include exploring the ideas of education for leisure, the features of MOOCs, the feasibility and practices of education for leisure in MOOCs, and the implications for education. The findings are as follows: First, the ideas of education for leisure include finding delight in learning, seeing the process of schooling as a leisure activity, and freely exploring a happy and a good life in leisure beyond schooling. Second, the features of MOOCs include that they are free and open to all, unlimited in time and space, and contain top tier university course content. Third, we confirm the congruence between the aspirations of education for leisure and the features of MOOCs. Fourth, the ways MOOCs reinforce leisure education encompass cultivating leisure experts through MOOCs, encouraging leisure habits by MOOCs, and exploring MOOCs as a leisure activity in and of themselves. The implications are that educators should emphasize leisure for creating sound habits of mind in people and leisure educators should make good use of the advantages of MOOCs.
