Abstract

BLANCO, Nancy et al. MOOCs and their level of implementation in academic libraries in the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and Área Metropolitana. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2022, n.47, pp.27-43.  Epub Oct 28, 2022. ISSN 1514-8327.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/ics.i47.11640.

The participation of public and private academic libraries in the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and its Área Metropolitana in the use and management of Massive and Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is analyzed. MOOCs1 present opportunities and challenges for libraries, such as participating in the implementation of courses, advising on and resolving issues related to copyright and licenses, providing massive access to information resources and 24/7 remote service for those enrolled in MOOCs. An exploratory methodology was adopted in order to prepare an initial diagnosis. The population consisted of 68 information units. The research instrument was designed to collect data with the purpose of exploring the state of development of the topic in the defined scope. The survey included 31 questions and was answered by 39 libraries. The analysis of the information obtained made it possible to produce an approximate idea of the importance of the topic today and the challenges it poses.

Keywords : Massive open online courses; MOOCs; Academic Libraries; Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA); Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA).
