“…The number of universities offering MOOCs is growing [7], although it is difficult to charge them with the task that higher education institutions have traditionally been entrusted with, as they would drift from their teaching role to become accrediting bodies through examinations. However, experiences were found where MOOCs were used as an instrument to support formal education, thus improving the results achieved by students and reducing the percentage of students who did not manage to pass the subject [40,41], although they do not replace formal education at present [42]. In a future scenario, skills-based online education is likely to compete even more closely with traditional forms of education as far as accessibility, affordability, and quality are concerned.…”

The study aims to learn more about the profiles of students who attended several Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at the University of Málaga (Málaga, Spain) and their opinion about them. The results of this study are based on a survey conducted by the students who completed the courses. The number of men and women as a whole is similar, although significant differences can be observed depending on the subject matter of the courses, which is also the case with the age of the students. The data revealed that 80% have university studies and 60% were working. The students in the sample learned about MOOCs mainly from other people (friends, social media, etc.) and showed a high level of satisfaction with them. It is significant that 99.4% would take another MOOC or that 97.9% would recommend it to a friend, colleague, or family member.
