“…The results of this study also support the claims of Dennis (2012), Yuan and Powell (2013), Iqbal et al (2014), Czerniewicz et al (2014), Schuwer et al (2015) and León-Urrutia et al (2018), among others, that MOOCs are not only favourable to the general public but also to students of higher education courses. This study has shown that the students of the undergraduate course English Pronunciation who successfully completed the LMOOC showed better results in their oral production than those who did not take the LMOOC and only worked with the regular course materials.…”

“…MOOCs were conceived as free courses which required no entry qualifications and which were addressed to students of any age, nationality and social background ). This new system of online tuition reached wide audiences and was soon accepted as a valuable source of opportunities at individual, institutional, and social levels (León-Urrutia et al 2018). Even though one of the initial aims of MOOCs was to open education to a general public, recent research has shown that MOOCs also have a great impact on higher education tuition (Dennis 2012;Yuan & Powell 2013;Iqbal et al 2014;León-Urrutia et al 2016, 2018.…”

This paper examines the creation and running of the Language MOOC (LMOOC) "The Acquisition of English Pronunciation through Songs and Literary Texts" (1 st ed.) and its effects on the proficiency rates of English pronunciation of a group of Spanish speakers registered in the Degree in English Studies offered at the Distance Learning University in Spain (UNED). The LMOOC included a new approach to phonetics teaching and learning based on the stress and rhythmic patterns of literary and music forms. It was offered as voluntary, complementary material to the 640 students registered on the second-year compulsory course on English Pronunciation. The results of a final oral exam showed that the students who took the LMOOC did much better in their oral production than those who only worked with the regular course materials. The LMOOC allowed us to investigate a reversed methodology to phonetics teaching, from rhythmic patterns to sounds, which proved to be highly beneficial to the students of higher education programs with a relevant impact on their pronunciation competences and skills. These findings also suggested that using an implicit methodology to phonetics teaching based on poems and songs is a good complement to explicit learning.

“…More specifically, Keller's model proved helpful to check the degree of motivation raised by different technological resources amongst students. Examples are: videogames [62]; the inclusion of video in e-learning learning sessions [63]; audio podcasts [64]; Massive Open Online Courses [65,66]; or AR [67][68][69].…”

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emergent technology that is acquiring more and more relevance in teaching every day. Together with mobile technology, this combination arises as one of the most effective binomials to support significant and ubiquitous learning. Nevertheless, this binomial can only prove valid if the student is motivated to use it during the learning process. An attempt was made through the implementation of Keller’s Instructional Material Motivational Survey model o determine the degree of motivation of Pedagogy, Medicine and Art students from the University of Seville for using AR-enriched notes available by means of mobile devices in the classroom. Three applications designed for the subjects of Educational Technology, Anatomy and Art served to assess it positively in terms of the motivation raised by the participation in the experiment, as well as regarding academic performance improvement. It can additionally be stated that our main finding was a link between students’ motivation to use the enriched notes and the performance obtained in the subject in which they use them. Evidence was also found that the utilization of Augmented Reality benefits the learning process.

Objectives: On the basis of the analysis of scientific research, we have made an attempt to determine the main directions of the development of digitalization in the system of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports in Russia for the next decade. Materials and Methods: The material for this article is the result of our own research and an analytical review of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists in recent years. Results: The obtained results can be considered a significant proof of the relevance of this area of research. The analysis shows the need to master modern information technologies in the field of higher education. This requires the development and implementation in the educational process of higher education of professionally oriented program and program and pedagogical tools aimed at mastering the necessary knowledge, as well as accumulating personal experience in their use in pedagogical and sports activities. Conclusion: In our opinion, four main areas of use of modern digitalization in physical culture and sports can be distinguished: in the educational process; in the process of sports training; in the process of competition; in health improving physical culture.
