English abstract

This article gives the clues to locate MOOCs in the life cycle of technological innovations. Their characteristic feature is an initial emergent stage accompanied by exaggerated enthusiasm. Five facts in the current stage of MOOCs evolution are analysed, as well as the changes in their nature as they move towards a different model of Higher Education. The article also points out limita-tions, failures and the evolution of open, on-line courses to conclude that although MOOCs de-tected problems and limitations in the Higher Education model at the time of their emergence, they have not become part of its solution. From the standpoint of Instructional Design models and theories, the solution will emerge from finding answers to three complex challenges. Even in that case, the question whether faculty will be ready to drive their efforts to Big Data analysis in order to understand students will still remain a debatable issue. Moreover, the question whether faculty will be ready to design and deliver courses that imply devoting much more attention to students of different origins and conditions on a basis of a better understanding of intercultural learning. The article also deals with seven moments in the evolution of on-line courses in the context of change of Higher Education in order to forecast likely and desirable changes for the future.

Spanish abstract

En este trabajo se dan las claves para situar los MOOCs en el ciclo de vida de las innovaciones tecnológicas que tienen como característica una progresión típica que se inicia como fenómeno emergente acompañado de un exceso de entusiasmo. Se analizan cinco hechos en el punto actual de su evolución y los cambios que se producen en su naturaleza en la progresion hacia un modelo distinto de Educación Universitaria. Señalando, a partir de ese análisis, sus limitaciones, fracasos y las evoluciones detectadas de los cursos abiertos on line. Se concluye diciendo que los MOOCs, en su momento, detectaron unos problemas, unas limitaciones del modelo de Educación Superior vigente, pero no eran su solución. La solución, desde el punto de vista donde no situamos, el de los modelos y teorías del diseño instruccional, pasa por dar respuesta a tres desafíos complejos, aunque la cuestión de fondo es si los profesores están dispuestos a centrarse en el análisis de los "grandes datos" para la comprensión de los estudiantes. Y a diseñar e impartir cursos que supongan prestar mucha más atención a los estudiantes de diferentes orígenes y condiciones sobre la base de una mejor comprensión del aprendizaje intercultural. También se analizan siete momentos de la evolución de los cursos on line, en el contexto de cambio de la educación superior, que nos permiten conjeturar cual es el cambio previsible y cuál es el deseable.
