Sobre sus posibles bondades, pero sobre todo los riesgos de aplicar este modelo sin prestar atención a las particulares y contextos en cada país. La metodología de este trabajo se centra en el estudio de caso a través de análisis de bibliografía académica y la revisión de diversas plataformas que ofrecen cursos MOOCs, se centra particularmente en la reflexión de los argumentos en pro y en contra del diseño de este tipo de cursos. Para este fin se utilizarán algunos razonamientos del filósofo Platón, especialmente de su diálogo Fedro. Los resultados finales demostrarán que si bien los MOOCs, como modelo educativo, buscan promover la democratización del conocimiento, bajo este esquema también subyace una dinámica que fomenta una nueva forma de explotación cognitiva de índole capitalista.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between information and knowledge, particularly the actual role of the MOOCs (Massive and Open Online Courses) as instruments to promote the democratization of knowledge in Latin America. About its possible benefits, but above all the risks of applying this model without paying attention to the particular contexts in each country. The methodology focuses on the case study, through academic literature analysis and review of various platforms offered by MOOCs, particularly in the reflection of arguments for and against the design of this type of course. For this purpose, some arguments of the philosopher Plato, especially of his Phaedrus dialogue, will be used. The final results will show that although MOOCs, as an educational model, look to promote the democratization of knowledge, under this scheme there is also a dynamic that fosters a new form of cognitive exploitation of a capitalist nature.]]></p></abstract>
