摘要：Since their appearance and widespread use in 2015, MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses are considered as a new online learning form powered by technology. The number of these courses (MOOCs) has exceptionally increased in recent years, and the number of the digital platforms that host them has steadily increased. The most known are the following platforms: Coursera, edX, and Udacity in the United States, FutureLearn in the United Kingdom, Iversity in Germany, and the platform FUN (France Universit� Num�rique � Digital University France) in France. Among these platforms, there are those that are public or private and those that are for-profit or not. Given their importance in the democratization of knowledge (free and open to all) and their emergence over the past five years, MOOCs deserve the full attention of the university community: decision-makers, teachers, students, and researchers. In this article, we will examine the online/distance learning concept by presenting a study on MOOCs while describing the founding principles, types, host platforms, advantages, limits, and success factors within a massive device (MOOC). The purpose of this study is to put the light on the questions and issues relating to the MOOC phenomenon in the wave of online training.
