Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the achievement of competencies for production, search, diffusion and open educational resources through a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). The development of this project required the participation of 10 institutions of higher education in Mexico*, as well as financial support from the National System of Distance Education (SINED). This is a quantitative research and the participants were 134 teachers in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Rubrics were used to evaluate the competencies mentioned (which conformed the four modules object of study); each was broken down into indicators and self-assessment was used with the student (basic), beginner (intermediate) and expert (advanced) criteria. It was found that in the three levels of competency, the total percentage is very similar in the four modules: Basic level is between 0.5% y 3.9%, intermediate, around 30.0% and 31.5% and advanced around 65.4% and 69.5%.
