ABSTRACT

In recent years, educational platforms have advanced significantly, integrating cutting-edge technologies and interactive resources that have revolutionized online teaching and learning. The proper selection of an educational platform is crucial for the successful dissemination of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), as it supports efficient course implementation and ensures accessibility, flexibility, and personalized learning experiences. Advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and synchronous tools enhance the student experience, offering automated feedback, content adaptation, and continuous support, allowing interaction with materials at their own pace.
In this article, we address an initial phase of the "Educação ON" project, which aims to define the IT solution, platform, and technologies for the creation of MOOCs. This process involved a literature review, analysis of MOOC characteristics, evaluation of educational platforms, identification of new trends in distance learning, and synthesis of the project requirements. The research focuses on validating a MOOC course model tailored to higher education students, tested during the academic years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 by a multidisciplinary team of professors from a Portuguese higher education institution, with the participation of students from both Portuguese and Brazilian higher education institutions. The results lay the groundwork for the next stages of the project, fostering more interactive and collaborative learning environments.
