Abstract

MOCCs are a new way of learning in the cloud computing, so this paper will focus on the analysis and evaluation of 26 MOOCs platform courses, both national and international, to know whether they are achieving the quality criteria and to know what shortcomings must be resolved. So the educational characteristics of MOOCs will be determined by evaluating the courses and establishing relationships between them.  All of this is analyzed to give an answer to the working hypothesis of the research about the existence of differences between the platforms that offer MOOCs in Spanish with those that offer MOOCs in English, but the results have not supported this hypothesis.
