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.
