ABSTRACT

In the real society, the new means have changed our communication ways. Social media users are actually applying the Cloutier’s model (1972). The ECO project is a European project that is carrying out 18 MOOCs with 22 partners. The dissemination strategy implicates 19 partners and has to enrol 50,000 learners in 3 years. For the first 18 months, a lot of actions have been carried out and allow us to extract some learnings from our wise choices and errors.
