UNED-COMA platform (Massive Open Online Course <<MOOC>> in Spanish: Curso Online Masivo Abierto) is an Open-UNED initiative, aimed at the deployment of MOOCs from different departments of UNED

UNED-COMA platform explodes the rich experience in distance education of UNED educational system

Pass the course: Badge < Credential (paying) < Certificate (paying & in-person exam)

Curator (UNED-COMA) & Facilitator (teaching staff)

Activities and assessment tools are very limited: the viewing of videos, video-questions and P2P activities

Access is completely open
