摘要
This article presents an initial exploratory study about the students who attended the MOOC entitled "Creation and retouching of images with free software". Massive and Open Online Courses (MOOC) have become popular in a few years and more and more people are using them as a means of learning for their personal and professional development. Their appearance has been accompanied by criticism due to their own characteristics, but there are few studies that ask students. Through a descriptive method a questionnaire was designed to collect data on the personal variables associated with the MOOC students, their motivations and the degree of satisfaction they showed at the end of the training process. The results obtained allowed to define the profile of the type student, who is a man with university studies, between 26 and 45 years. He lives in Spain and is employee. He has previously conducted online training activities and is not the first time he makes a MOOC. The study concluded that the motivation of the students to carry out the MOOC is the need to improve their curriculum and acquire new knowledge. Motivation was fulfilled in view of the high levels of satisfaction they expressed.
