Sistema de gestión para el desarrollo de cursos MOOC a partir de la generación de criterios de calidad en las instituciones educativas

Abstract

Since the publication of the first MOOC course in 2008 —called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge proposed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes—, the MOOC offer "Online, Open and Massive Course" has increased significantly. MOOCs have characteristics: mass, openness, autonomy. Faced with its growing boom, concerns arise about the incorporation of quality. The problem is that courses in traditional virtual format are offered as MOOC courses; thus, their nature and characteristics that make them unique disappear. In the review of the state of the art two standards are evident: UNE 66181: 2012 on quality management in virtual training, and the ISO/IEC 25000 standard adapted to validate the MOOC as a technological product. There are researches that have presented guides and instruments, but in isolation; that is, there is no unified proposal on quality criteria. The development of this Doctoral Thesis allowed the design of a management system for the development of MOOC courses based on the generation of quality criteria in educational institutions. A rubric was incorporated to verify dimensions: pedagogical, technological, administrative, certification and accreditation, from a context of quality criteria based on the UNE 66181: 2012 standard and the ISO/IECC 25000 standard. A qualitative research methodology was approached, with a hermeneutic approach, supported by expert judgments technique by validating the expert competence coefficient.
