| Summary: | The chapter presents an analysis of evaluations of five NOOCs (Nano Open Online Courses) for teacher education, focusing on connected methodologies, collaborative, gamification, hybrid approaches and flexible learning. Through interviews and focus groups in English, six key dimensions are examined: structure, content, methodology, technology, cohesion and overall satisfaction. The sample consisted of 23 female professors from European universities (Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and Haiti). The findings reveal a positive assessment of the courses in terms of clarity, innovation and applicability. However, challenges associated with a lack of interactivity, navigation difficulties and a predominantly individual learning experience are identified. While some NOOCs manage to integrate applicable methodologies and accessible technology, others show limitations in collaborative processes and technical problems that affect continuity. The analysis concludes that, although the overall level of satisfaction is high, it is recommended to strengthen interactivity, optimise the usability of the platforms and promote greater participation to consolidate the sense of community and improve the learning experience. |
