14. Main message Xavier Prats-Monne of
the EC
“What can
MOOCs do?” is
not relevant any
longer; rather, we
have to ask
"What should
MOOCs do?”
Will affect higher
education and that the
traditional educational
map must be redrawn
with other structures,
colors, models,
pedagogy, organization,
management

What are the
