Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0004-1094 sMOOC: A pedagogical model for social inclusion 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In this article, the results of analysing the sMOOC launched by European project E-learning, Communication, Open Data (ECO) are displayed, from the perspective of social inclusion. Firstly, it considers people excluded from the system and, on a second stage, attention is brought towards those agents acting as social mediators. A quantitative methodology of analysis was applied to the interactions occurred in a sample of 1, 361 participants at ECO Portal's course “Education Innovation and Professional Development. Possibilities and Limits of the ICTs”. Results show that ECO has massively promoted sMOOC-based training and has become present, not only in Europe, but also in a wider geographical spread, particularly in developing countries. Such training offering has been highly valued by participants in aspects related to the knowledge acquired and them feeling active role-players in the education process, which increases their commitment towards sharing that training in diverse social environments and, as a result, makes a significant impact on social inclusion processes. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 0.432 2019 Multidisciplinary 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Osuna-Acedo, S.
