Conclusions
• Very successful finalization rate (46.4%)
• Positive perception of the personal attitude and learning
• Good valuations to the learning community, also as an option for the long life learning.
18 TEEM’14
ConclusionsParticipants demand:
• Improvements to manage the knowledge generated in the learning community
• Participants, with previous knowledge in EI, give positive value to their own perception. Adaptivity is needed.
• More assessment methods, with more interaction and feedback
19 TEEM’14
Conclusions
We conclude that:
• Only a methodological framework is not enough to cover all the problems related to MOOC
• The debate around MOOCs is helping to change and improve the online learning models
