Abstract: This paper uses online survey to investigate the current situation of MOOCs on information literacy and analyze their development through curriculum scale and distribution, team building, teaching design and content. The study found existing MOOCs’ structure of curriculum content is decided by target learners. Their ways of organizations and team collaboration are homogenous and their core content skilloriented, and information retrieving system tend to adopt blended modes. The established MOOCs have some problems such as lacking of generality, collaborating within a small scope, out-of-proportion content setting, some outdated content and lack of authoritative assessment system. Therefore, this paper offers some suggestions that future MOOCs should take into consideration, such as that MOOCs’ target learners should be specific; that collaboration should be strengthened; that the proportion of course content should be adjusted; that the curriculum should be dynamic; and that authoritative assessment system should be built.
