TIC, eLearning, teaching and the MOOC´s case

TIC, eLearning, teaching and the MOOC s case. Including the option of eLearning as another learning method has meant embracing a new teaching style for the digital teacher. Keeping the traditional roles of educator and student, the eLearning teacher has become a knowledge facilitator rather than a knowledge broadcaster. With the use of technology, the e-teacher functions have changed and they had to acquire new digital competences, going through an adaptation to the pupils' new learning methods and having new tools available for teaching innovation. All this has to be achieved not forgetting the communication with the students and the human factor present in every educational process. Delving into the topic of distance learning, we will see the case, very current in the MOOC courses, its main features and the development that has materialized in the last recent years.
