Abstract

According to Administration of Aging (AoA), by the year 2060, the older people will represent among the 98 million of people of the total population. That is, much of this priority group will be involved with technology. Hence, the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a good alternative for lifelong learning. Therefore, it should be taken into account the needs of older people according to their learning styles by using andragogical techniques, strategies and accessibility criteria. However, nowadays many courses are offered in different platforms, but they are not oriented to older people with special characteristics according to the age. Moreover, the methodologies reviewed do not take into account accessibility criteria and andragogical techniques and strategies for building MOOCs.
