The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a popular phenomenon in the online
learning world. Today many institutions offer MOOCs. This phenomenon has not
only created a new trend in online education, it also has been adopted by a
number of institutions around the world, allowing spaces for research in
pedagogical, technological and organizational aspects.

This conference will focus on the exchange of popular trends and research
results, as well as the presentation of practical experiences gained while
developing MOOCs; we invite researchers, technologists, and course designers
from universities and industry to share their approaches and perspectives on key
topics, including analytics and data mining, assessment, credentialing, pedagogy
aspects, gamification, cloud services and resources, universal design,
accessibility and technological frameworks/architectures.

This event will be a reference MOOCs conference for Latin America. This
conference is organized by the MOOC-Maker project. An initiative co-funded by
the Erasmus+ Programme – European Union. The MOOC-Maker consortium is composed
by nine Higher Education Institutions from Europe and Latin America.
