The most MOOCs vere provided by universities in Spain...
Alfredo Corell's insight:
The most MOOCs were provided by universities in Spain – 79 – followed by 66 in the UK. “We don’t know what’s going on in Eastern Europe,” Gaebel said. There seemed to be no MOOCs offered by any university in that region at present.

Thanks to Grainne Conole for the post on MOOCs and a New Classification of MOOCs, where she has critiqued thoroughly on quality assurance of MOOCs from a course and instructional design perspective...
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Quality in online education, in particular MOOCs might be defined differently from those quality in classroom education, with a face-to-face teaching environment. What is quality of MOOC from the perspective of educators, learners, and employers?

So what is a MOOC? What's the history of MOOCs? How are they growing? What are some significant events in the world of MOOCs?
Alfredo Corell's insight:
By Jeff Dunn
With a public four year in-state degree costing $89,044 on average it’s easy to see why anyone would be looking for alternatives. MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses, may be the solution. Since the first MOOC in 2008, this phenomenon has been spreading amongst very well accredited colleges. The movement has grown rapidly with over 100 courses already scheduled for 2013.

La enseñanza de Introducción a la Sociología es algo casi automático para Mitchell Duneier, catedrático de la Universidad de Princeton en Nueva Jersey: la ha impartido 30 veces y el manual que coescribió ya va por su octava edición. Pero el pasado verano, mientras transformaba su clase en un curso gratuito en Internet, se vio enfrentado a algunos interrogantes novedosos: ¿dónde deberá centrar la mirada mientras una cámara graba sus clases? ¿Cómo podrían compartir sus ideas los 40.000 estudiantes que se matricularon online? ¿Y cómo saber lo que están aprendiendo?

If you haven’t heard of MOOCs, you no doubt will, because these Massive Open Online course are becoming all the rage, tagged as the biggest thing in public education since, well, the dawn of public education. (It wasn’t long ago that the Khan Academy was). My colleague Nick Anderson reported about the emergence of the MOOCs movement as a disruptive force in higher education. But there are reasons to think MOOCs are being hyped, and below, former schools superintendent Larry Cuban explains why. Cuban is a former high school social studies teacher (14 years, including seven at Cardozo and Roosevelt high schools in the District), district superintendent (seven years in Arlington, VA) and professor emeritus of education at Stanford University, where he has taught for more than 20 years. His latest book is “As Good As It Gets: What School Reform Brought to Austin.” This appeared on his blog.

By Vance Stevens:
I have to admit I would not be drawn to a blog post entitled so vacuously as, "what MOOC means to me" (so I thought up something catchy and made the real purpose of this post its subtitle). However, it's early days for working out what MOOC means for anyone. People have different ideas about what MOOC means, period. Obviously, the most relevant meaning is the one that reaches any one of us personally. MOOC means a lot to me, I'm going to try to pin down that meaning here, and maybe this will help you get your own grip on what MOOC might mean to you.

¿Dónde estamos en julio de 2013? ¿Sigue el “ciclo de sobreexpectación” sobre los MOOC? O, si se cumple el modelo de Gartner, ¿ya nos adentramos en el “abismo de desilusión”? (Wikipedia: “Las tecnologías entran en el abismo de desilusión porque no se cumplen las expectativas. Estas tecnologías dejan de estar de moda y en consecuencia, por lo general la prensa abandona el tema.).

Latest news, events and thoughts about MOOCs
I present here a compilation of news, thoughts, and movements in the MOOCs field.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
- A main concern is the low level of courses completions (below 10%):
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/measuring-the-success-of-online-education , one can consider 20% completion a success: http://technorati.com/technology/article/are-massive-open-online-courses-moocs/
- In the same line, a Coursera's MOOC had 180.000 students, but less than 26.000 are now running: http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2013/01/22/duke-university-professors-mooc-has-180000-students.html
-On the other hand US universities are thinking to link a first free MOOC with a second official course for credit in the named "MOOC2Grade":
-Competition between Universities is open for the MOOC market, New international alliances are growing: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/01/22/foreign-universities-consider-how-best-enter-mooc-market

The company, Coursera, plans to announce on Wednesday the start of a pilot project to check the identities of its students and offer “verified certificates” of completion, for a fee. A key part of that validation process will involve what Coursera officials call “keystroke biometrics”—analyzing each user’s pattern and rhythm of typing to serve as a kind of fingerprint.

MOOCs get a bad rap. Dismissed as prescriptive, or teacher-centric, or unsocial, or something else, it’s like a badge of honour to espouse why you dislike MOOCs.
Despite their pedagogical flaws, however, MOOCs provide unprecedented access to quality content for millions of learners.
