KeyWords-MOOC(MassiveOpe nOnline Courses),Localcolleges and universities,Traditional teaching mode, SPOC(Small Private Online Course) With the development of market economy,the higher education of our country has made the transition from elite to mass. At present, the local colleges accounts for more than 90% of the total number of the nation undergraduate university,it has become the main force of Chinese higher education.In a number of local colleges generally there are some problems, such as, teaching means aging, old research facilities, faculty development imbalance, limited teaching resources, etc.,and all the factors listed above resulting in the teaching mode has been no breakthrough. In 2011, massive open online courses—MOOC arise,it's quality of the curriculum resources, independent and individualized learning, equality and mutual assistance relationship between teachers and students,MOOC swept the world in a short period of time,it posed a challenge to higher education around the world, and promoting the teaching modeto speed up the pace of reform in colleges and universities. As a new kind of mode,the MOOCOpened a new door for the local colleges and universities teaching mode reform. I.THE MAIN PROBLEMS OF THE TRADITIONAL TEACHING MODE IN LOCAL COLLEGES Combined with the talentstraining of local universities and regional economic society, is not only the inevitable demand for regional development of higher education, but also their own development. Therefore, based on local economic development and market demand, training applied talents with practical ability and innovation ability, has become the local colleges and universities personnel training goal.However, in the vast majority of local colleges in the way of teaching and ignores the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability. The same teaching contents are difficult to highlight the regional characteristics,and the traditional teaching mode cannot satisfied the demand of the talents training target in the new period. A. Knowledge oriented teaching mode is contradictory with training practical ability Along with the production of teaching activities, books, teachers, classroom centered teaching mode has been the dominant factor. At present, the teaching activity oflocal colleges and universities basically followed the traditional mode of classroom teaching. In the process of teaching too much emphasis on imparting knowledge, the knowledge oriented teaching mode ignores the cultivation of students' other abilities. Applied talents should pay more attention to training students' ability, however, relying on teaching knowledge cannot cultivate students' ability,it is formed through repeated practice. This kind of comprehensive ability not only include knowledge acquisition, also includes the emotions, attitudes and values, and this is the students individual internal behavior of self-improvement. The university undergraduate teaching process should not only reflect the cognitive process of studying scientific truth, should reflect the cognitive process of found scientific truth, otherwise the teaching process is not complete.[1] Psychological research shows that, in the case of cognitive dissonance, people always want to seek a new balance of cognition, resulting in the desire to explore,in view of this, the teacher should not only impart knowledge, but also to guide students to explore knowledge.Confucius divided the learning process into four stages: learning, thinking, exercise, practice, but we often stay in the first three stages. Students acquire knowledge relying too much on teachers, lack of exploration and practice, these are unfavorable to the cultivation of ability. B. The traditional knowledge system is contradictory withinnovation ability According to the relationship between teaching and scientific research in universities, Chinese higher education colleges and universities is now divided into three categories: International Conference on Education, Management and Computing Technology (ICEMCT 2015) © 2015. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 1374 Research universities, teaching-research universities and teaching universities.Research universitiesare dominated by the "985 Project" and "211 Project" Universities,while teaching universities take the local colleges and universities as the main body. In general,the key universities always stay in the forefront which in course content updates and construction of teaching material. Local colleges and universities due to their weak foundation and limited teaching resources, textbooks become their main source of knowledge,however, the lag phenomenon long-standing teaching materials in colleges and universities. With the progress of era and the development of science, part of the textbook knowledge aging, especially some practical, fast updates disciplines, such as computer science, medicine, law and so on disconnect situation is more serious. No matter in which field, to cultivate creative talents, rely on the old knowledge system is not feasible. C. The homogeneity of the teaching contentis contradictory withRegional characteristics Local colleges and universities is different from the general research university and Career Technical College, its position in the local society, determines that it must be oriented to the development of local economy construction and industry, to cultivate applied talents whom with regional characteristics.Under the trend of popularization of higher education, local colleges and universities in the professional setting on the pursuit of "big" and "full", lead to homogeneity serious. In fact, different regions are different in the geographical environment and humane environment, industry structure, Therefore, professional setting should also have regional characteristics, such as construction, agriculture, tourism, arts and other professional. However, in the teaching content, there is no essential difference between the local colleges and universities. The same disciplines and similar content, resulting in students' knowledge structure are very similar to each other which in the same Professional, and lack of competitive advantage.
