Abstract

A new model of society requires a new teaching model. The implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education opens up a new horizon for educators and students. We are attending at the emergence of so-called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses): online free courses with an unlimited number of students and without admission requirements. In this paper we analyze these courses: from the models and platforms through which they are taught, to the different business models that are being considered to make them profitable.
