Zusammenfassung
MOOCs are revolutionizing XXI century teaching and learning. There can be different types according to diverse criteria, but they lack a pedagogical profile. To establish an educational profile of the MOOC, 117 Spanish-language courses, located in 10 different platforms, are studied. They are studied using a sequential mixed exploratory research. With the information obtained, an analysis of conglomerates is carried out in two phases using the statistical packages SPSS and Weka. The results show two profiles of courses: closed and rigid MOOCs versus open and flexible MOOCs. They also identify the pedagogical component that can classify a MOOC course. The variable "hours of dedication" best discriminates the courses studied.
