Abstract

La presente investigacion muestra un estudio realizado sobre una de las principales tendencias en la educacion a distancia en la actualidad y su impacto social: los Cursos en Linea Masivos y Abiertos, conocidos por sus siglas en ingles como MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses). Se abarca en este trabajo su surgimiento y ascendente popularidad debido a que contienen una coleccion de recursos en linea de libre acceso, brindando asi la posibilidad de una participacion activa de un gran numero de estudiantes. Universidades de gran prestigio como Harvard, Stanford y el Instituto Tecnologico de Massachusetts MIT emplean plataformas de este tipo como otro recurso mediante el cual ofrecer sus cursos, es una oportunidad unica de acceder a cursos de profesores de universidades e instituciones elites por personas que de otra forma no les seria posible. Se abordan ademas los principales retos, tendencias y deficiencias que pueden convertirse en temas de desarrollo e investigacion en esta area. Se concluye el trabajo haciendo un analisis de su positivo impacto social de forma general y su empleo en Cuba.
