Sumario:This paper analyzes the terminal efficiency and the different technology, connectivity and learning scenarios that characterized the experience of the SCRACHT SM4T course organized by the Plan Ceibal in Uruguay, in conjunction with a private university. The methodology applied is transactional descriptive in type, and is based on the analysis of student variables, records and internet data. The study showed that it is possible to implement new MOOC courses in scenarios with a greater or lesser level of formalization, using different teaching support strategies. One of the principal findings of the research is that the completion rate is higher than those reported in international literature, and in most studies on MOOC. A second contribution is the identification and analysis of three types of learning scenarios: individual adaptive, group with tutor support, and mass via enrollment from a formal education center.
