What is it about?
This is our methodological approach to the MOOC development, trying to combine the order and the structure of the xMOOC type and the collaborative and social approach of the cMOOC. This is what is called hMOOC or hybrid MOOC model

Why is it important?
MOOCs have been claimed as a new revolution in online education, but they have several problems specially when they have no a clear goal. Our proposal is oriented to introduce a more powerful pedagogical background to the MOOCs. This approach has been named as hMOOC by Stephen Downes http://www.downes.ca/post/65696
Perspectives
I started to be interested by MOOCs because I'm researching long time ago about eLearning models, and some in the MOOCs was attractive and interesting for me, but at the same time I feel that most of the MOOCs meant a going back in time for online education. Before, to criticize anything I think you should test it. We started to experiment with MOOCs and finally my colleagues and me proposed this hMOOC or hybrid MOOC model.
