MOOCs - an important step in education [articol]

Abstract

In a globalized world, where anyone has the freedom to travel or work anywhere and where companies develop different ventures in different parts of the world, it was only natural for education to become more globalized. Together with the need of a disruption in education, MOOCs manage to appear in a perfect timing with the global situation. This paper tries to explain why this type of education had success only now and analyses some of its main features. Next, we argue about the importance of MOOCs in education and we try to anticipate the future direction of this technology.
