Abstract:

It emerged within the project Teachers’ Continuous Professional Training through Development of Massive Open Online Courses performed within the bilateral collaboration program Romania – Moldova. The MOOC movement is at the very early stage: the concept of MOOCs is new for teachers, the level of awareness on availability and usage of MOOCs is quite low among them. The paper investigates the challenges related with delivering MOOCs for the professional teacher development.
