Abstract

This paper discusses a new trend in education,
so -called Massive Open Online Courses - MOOCs and
their implementation in higher education. MOOC courses
are designed for an unlimited number of users, they are
usually free and they are available exclusively online.
MOOCs arise from so-called OER movement, i.e. the
movement of open educational resources promoted on the
UNESCO Forum in 2002. The application of these courses
is differentiated in two types: cMOOCs and xMOOCs.
MOOCs have been developed to support multiple
platforms and with that, their massive use began. Students
and professors very well accept the use of MOOCs in
higher education. Professors agree about MOOCs
usefulness and successful, but disagree about their formal
acceptation on Universities.
