Differences between Platforms LMS an Moocs.

One difference is that it can be said that a MOOC is open not because it is offered for free, but because everything, the activity, the contents and the resources are open and accessible to any user.  Contrary to what happens with an online course, the learning platform used is not the key, but rather the debate that arises around the content and the generation of knowledge by the students.
Another difference is the fact of being able to analyze the dropout rate of enrolled students versus those who finish the course.  In closed LMS, the teacher-student interaction itself makes this analysis possible, being able to remedy so that dropout is minimized.  In MOOCs, very high dropout levels are being detected, often due to factors external to the course itself and, therefore, uncontrollable.

The basic answer is that an LMS is a platform for hosting a course, while a MOOC is the course itself. A MOOC can be run on an LMS, but it doesn't have to be. In the same vein, an LMS can be used to host a course that is not a MOOC.

Difference 1: The basic answer is that an LMS is a platform for hosting a course, while a MOOC is the course itself. A MOOC can be run on an LMS, but it doesn’t have to be. In the same vein, an LMS can be used to host a course that is not a MOOC.

Difference 2:
Another diffrent are the course (LMS) is designed with an authoring tool, loaded into an LMS, and then everyone crosses their fingers and hopes for the best. It’s a pre-defined, pre-built package based on assumptions that may or may not be correct, but the results aren’t analyzed until the end.
MOOCs tend to be much more organic. For example, if instructors notice that there is a lot of discussion about a particular topic that indicates confusion, they can easily create new videos, add new materials, or introduce new discussion topics. In this way, MOOCs are able to respond organically to learners’ needs better than traditional courses.

# data[].attributes.body
difference 1: is that an LMS is a platform to host a course, while a MOOC is the course itself. A MOOC can run on an LMS, but it doesn't have to. Similarly, an LMS can be used to host a course that is not a MOOC.

Difference 2: In general, however, I don't think the real question is about the difference between a MOOC as a course and an LMS as a platform. I think what people are asking is about the difference between MOOCs and the types of courses that are typically run on LMSs. So here I'll identify seven main areas where MOOCs and traditional LMS-style courses differ and point out what these differences mean for corporate training.

Main differences that I found were:
Difference 1- In short words LMS is a platform for hosting a course on the other hand MOOC is the course itself.

Difference 2- MOOCs are opened to all and in some cases are free as well. Anyone on the internet can access these courses, regardless of their geography or culture or nationality or any other criteria.
On the other hand LMS can be implemented for an institute, an organization or any other group of students, hence they are not by default open for all, only a certain group of people might have access to it, but they can open as well but not necessarily.

E-learning course, It is developed in an e-learning platform (LMS) with some functionalities and a very limited structure and designed for direct interaction with the teacher.

1. Closed environment

2. Access prior registration payment

3. Limited group

4. Direct teacher support

5. Communication through discussion forums

6. Oriented towards evaluation and accreditation

MOOC is a course in itself and follows a technological design that facilitates the dissemination of the activity of the participants through the use of one or more platforms.

1. Open environment

2. Free access

3. Massive participation

4. Community support

5. Diversity of communication tools, use of Social networks

6. Emphasis on the learning process rather than evaluation and accreditation.

Basically, it can be said that a MOOC is open not because it is offered for free, but because everything, the activity, the content, the resources, is open and accessible to any user. Contrary to what happens with an online course, the learning platform used is not the key, but the debate that arises around the content and the generation of knowledge by the participants.

Difference 1:, LMS platforms and MOOCs serve different purposes and have different target audiences, although there is some overlap between them. LMS platforms are often used for internal training and education within organizations.
Difference 2: MOOCs are open to the public and offer self-directed learning opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
LMS:
The LMS platforms are more complete, they allow us to organize better our topics, assignments, etc. They help us to have better control over the way that we teach. Are often more private and secure.

Moocs:
Moocs are often more general, they are destined for a large number of people, there is a little less control over everything, and more basic. They can be found on the internet and sometimes you don't even have to pay to access to the information, everyone can join them; they are public spaces.

An LMS is a software application that enables users to create, design, and deliver their own course content through a website or a mobile app. eLearning platforms, on the other hand, are web-based applications that allow users to design online courses, then deliver/share them with learners.

1-Purpose of MOOCs is, most often, to give prospective students a taste of what it means to study at a particular institution and therefore, to lead them to enrol in a full programme. Other purpose might be that somehow, this strategy is being considered towards world university ranking (I guess that is the reason why those 'top' universities are so much into this).

2-However, most MOOCs I have seen are poorly designed on-line courses. Most often, learning design is missing, and focus is on content delivery as video presentations and text resources. Most students enrolled loose interest very quickly, and retention rate is extremely small in general. There is a need for a model to inform more effective learning design of MOOCs, the model that gives recognition to activities as leads to knowledge changes.

The short explanation is that an LMS is a platform for hosting courses, but a MOOC is the actual course. A MOOC can, but does not have to, be delivered through an LMS. In the same way, an LMS can be used to host a non-MOOC course.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are free online courses that anybody can take. MOOCs offer a cost-effective and flexible method to master new skills, enhance your career, and deliver high-quality educational experiences on a large scale.

LMS is an abbreviation for learning management system.
It is an internet platform that stores enormous amounts of digitized teaching materials. Educators can effortlessly manage information, automate processes, and simplify their curriculum from any distant location thanks to a user-friendly interface.

Difference 1: LMS is a platform for hosting a course, while a MOOC is the course itself. A MOOC can be run on an LMS.

LMS (Learning Management System or Learning Management System) is technological infrastructure through which we can display online learning environments. It is a web application that serves to facilitate the administration and distribution of educational/training content, the registration and evaluation of the progress of apprentices and communication between their users (mainly students and teachers). While Moocs are massive open courses online, therefore, they are open to all and, in some cases, they are also free. Any person on the Internet can access these courses, regardless of their geography or culture or nationality or any other criteria.

Learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, materials, or learning and development programs

On the other hand, MOOCs are distance learning courses, accessible via the Internet, which are open to anyone and have no limit to the number of participants.

A MOOC can be run on an LMS, but it doesn’t have to be. In the same vein, an LMS can be used to host a course that is not a MOOC.

In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and quizzes, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for students, teachers, and teaching assistants.

Differece between LMS platforms and MOOCs:
1- The main difference is that a LMS is a platform where you are able to take/use/do many courses, while on MOOCs you are only able to do/take the content provided, since it's a course, pretty much.
2- Another difference is that in an LMS can be very limited, when it comes to users and resources, and MOOCs, on the other hand, are open to everyone and have many resources to choose from.

1) Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a free Web-based distance learning program that is designed for the participation of large numbers of geographically dispersed students. MOOC may be patterned on a college or university course or may be less structured. Although MOOCs don’t always offer academic credits, they provide education that may enable certification, employment or further studies (Rouse, 2013).

The concept of a MOOC was first introduced by Stephen Downes and George Siemens in 2008 as they were building a course offered by the University of Manitoba. The course’s name was Connectivist and Connective Knowledge (Beijing Normal University, 2011). This course was the first course to be labeled a MOOC because there were 25 tuition-paying students from university and 2,300 non-paying students from the general public who took the course online (Rouse, 2013).

There are two main models of MOOC (Ping, 2013):

1. cMOOC, which is based on the connectivist learning theory.

cMOOC focuses on knowledge construction and creation. This platform puts much emphasis on creation, autonomy, and social network learning. Participants in the course act as both teachers and students, sharing information and engaging in a joint teaching and learning experience through intense interaction facilitated by technology. A typical design of a cMOOC assumes collaboration between course participants using various social media (e.g., blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, RSS feeds and mailing lists).
2. xMOOC, which is based on the behaviorism learning theory.

xMOOC is closer to traditional teaching process and concept, focusing on knowledge dissemination and duplication, as well as such learning methods of video, homework and test. A further division of xMOOC into two models can be identified: profit and non-profit to serve different purposes

2)Learning management systems are software systems designed to assist in the management of educational courses for students, especially by helping teachers and learners with course administration. One of the most important features of an LMS is to provide an environment for learning and teaching without the restrictions of time or distance. LMSs helps instructors and learners discuss the course content by posting and responding to each other, maintaining student learning tracks, and managing learning activities in an online environment. Currently, LMSs improve instructor teaching and student performance across various fields of study. A learning management system may also provide students with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussions, video conferencing, and discussion forums. The systems can often track the learners’ progress (Chung, et al., 2013).

In addition, five categories of LMS features for higher education are discussed including (Chung, et al., 2013):

1. Transmitting course content

The transmitting course content category includes three major features of an LMS: course content, announcements, and the grade book. Although the first two features are valuable, the grade book was unsuitable for complex grading or evaluation systems.

2. Evaluating students

The most commonly used LMS tool in the evaluation and assessment category is the test generator, which helps instructors create course assessments and allows students to submit the test via the drop box function. A good test generator should include a flexible approach to create various evaluation methods. The importance of interaction in the evaluation process, which would allow the learner to check and monitor their academic activities and improve student-learning performance.

3. Evaluating courses and instructors

In the evaluating course and instructor category, the LMS allows students to evaluate both the course and the instructor at the end of the semester. Course evaluation serves a very important function in education because it helps instructors understand if they need to modify the course content, as well as their teaching approaches to improve the overall learning and teaching experience.

4. Creating class discussions

In creating a discussion category, asynchronous discussions had higher approval ratings than synchronous discussions because participants have more time to read and respond to questions. In spite of this difficulty, synchronous discussions have certain benefits that could help participants feel a stronger sense of social interaction. Therefore, designing a feature that creates longer discussion formats should be considered as a viable option to provide users the opportunity to participate in discussions.

5. Creating computer-based instruction

The use of computer-based instruction (CBI) is a feature that has been designed to help instructors transmit content for years. Today, several technique tools could effectively and efficiently help instructors to create teaching content, e.g., Prezi, SlideRocket, Flickr, YouTube, Sliceshare, and Knovio. These social media tools could enhance various teaching presentations and course curriculum. Therefore, the LMS should be flexible and offer an adaptable and creative in its CBI to improve the online learning experience.

An LMS is software that automates the administration of training. The LMS registers users, tracks courses in a catalogue, records data from learners; and provides reports to management. An LMS is typically designed to handle courses by multiple publishers and providers. It usually doesn’t include its own authoring capabilities; instead, it focuses on managing courses created by a variety of other sources.

A MOOC on the other hand is an entire course. A MOOC is accessible, usually with no prerequisites, to anyone who wishes to enroll, usually for free, and with self-assessment or peer assessment along the way. It enables the possibility to teach over 100,000+ students at the same time in the same course.

Difference 1: An LMS (learning management system) is a platform for hosting courses while a MOOC (massive open online course) is the course itself. An LMS can also be used to host non-MOOC courses, but this confusion often creeps in because some of the major MOOC platforms, such as Coursera, edX and Udacity, involve both an LMS and a MOOC. For example, if you take a course on Coursera, it will be hosted on the Coursera learning management system which is an LMS.

Difference 2: MOOCs requires digital skills to be able to collaborate and facilitate; meanwhile, LMS courses and quizzes are easily and accessible with no specific skills.

They differ in several ways:

1. Scope: LMS platforms are typically used by organizations, schools, or universities to manage and deliver online learning materials to their students or employees. In contrast, MOOCs are standalone courses that are open to the public and often offered by universities or educational organizations.

2. Structure: LMS platforms are designed to support a structured learning environment, with a specific set of materials and activities that students must complete in a particular order. MOOCs, on the other hand, are more flexible and allow learners to choose their own pace and level of engagement.

3. Certification: LMS platforms are often used to deliver courses that are part of a larger degree program, and completion of these courses may result in a certificate or credit towards a degree. MOOCs, on the other hand, often offer a certificate of completion, but these certificates may not carry the same weight as a degree or professional certification.

4. Interactivity: LMS platforms typically offer a range of interactive tools and features, such as discussion forums, quizzes, and assignments, that allow learners to engage with the content and each other. MOOCs may also offer these features, but they are often less structured and more focused on self-directed learning.

5. Cost: LMS platforms are typically subscription-based and may require a fee for access to the materials. MOOCs, on the other hand, are often free or low-cost, making them accessible to a wider audience.
