Sumario:The proliferation of MOOCS and mass, open education calls for rigorous processes able to determine the quality of the education they offer. This paper puts forward a comparative analysis of evaluation indicators for two instruments used to assess the quality of MOOCS: EduTool® and UMUMOOC. To this end, the weightings of the sub-factors for each dimension of the two instruments were analyzed using fuzzy logic. After an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of both tools, this study proposes a quality assessment construct as a five-vertex pyramid, or a five-dimensional representation. At the center of gravity is “the recognition of training for employability”. Thus, from this solid foundation, assessment tools would need to be structured in the following dimensions: learning design, communication-interaction, planning-management, levels of accessibility, and learning methodology.
