| Abstract (English): | Online education has been an important modality in recent years and MOOCs are considered a viable alternative to this modality by providing benefits for those who participate in these courses. This article documents an empirical exercise with a quantitative approach developed in a Mexican public university. Whose objective was to analyze the perceptions of students regarding their learning experiences in MOOCtype courses, as well as to describe the benefits of this type of course and compare if they are the same in students who dropped out and those who concluded. The results show that taking a MOOC provides benefits, regardless of whether they complete it or not, although those who complete a MOOC indicate a greater number of benefits, compared to dropouts. The main benefits identified were: 1) learning at one's own pace, 2) availability of content continuously, and 3) the possibility of experimenting with other ways of learning.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La educación en línea ha sido una modalidad imprescindible durante los últimos años y los MOOC son considerados como una alternativa efectiva de esta modalidad al aportar beneficios para quienes participan en estos cursos. El presente artículo documenta un ejercicio empírico de enfoque cuantitativo desarrollado en una universidad pública mexicana. Los objetivos que se cubren en este estudio son: analizar las percepciones de los estudiantes respecto a sus experiencias de aprendizaje en cursos tipo MOOC, así como describir los beneficios de este tipo de cursos y comparar si son los mismos en alumnos que desertaron y los que concluyeron. Los resultados muestran que cursar un MOOC otorga beneficios, independientemente de si lo terminan o no, aunque quienes si concluyen reportan mayor cantidad de beneficios, en comparación con los desertores. Los tres principales beneficios fueron: 1) aprender a un ritmo propio, 2) disponibilidad de los contenidos continuamente y 3) la posibilidad de experimentar otras formas de aprender.

Este artigo documenta um exercício empírico com abordagem quantitativa desenvolvido em uma universidade pública mexicana cujo objetivo foi analisar as percepções dos estudantes sobre suas experiências de aprendizagem em cursos do tipo MOOC, bem como descrever os benefícios deste tipo de curso e comparar se são iguais nos alunos que abandonaram e nos que concluíram. Os resultados mostram que a realização de um MOOC proporciona benefícios, independentemente de concluí-lo ou não, embora aqueles que o concluem indiquem um maior número de benefícios, em comparação com aqueles que desistem. Os principais benefícios identificados foram: 1) aprendizagem no próprio ritmo, 2) disponibilidade contínua de conteúdos e 3) possibilidade de experimentar outras formas de aprendizagem.
