      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The so-called 'digital revolution' and the economic and social transformations of the last decades have also involved university education, requiring not only some aspects of traditional lectures to adapt, but also several on-line teaching projects to be launched. A recent aspect of this process, started by North American university institutions such as Stanford, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is represented by the worldwide offer of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which have no limit concerning the number of participants. and do not require a binding and expensive registration. Using international literature on the subject, this study analyses the origins and evolution of this new system of university teaching.</p>

        <p>La cosiddetta ‘rivoluzione digitale’ e le trasformazioni economiche e sociali degli ultimi decenni hanno coinvolto anche la formazione universitaria, imponendo un adeguamento di alcuni aspetti della didattica tradizionale in presenza, ma anche l’avvio di vari progetti di didattica online. Un aspetto recente di questo processo, avviato da istituzioni universitarie nordamericane, come ad esempio Stanford, Harvard e Massachusetts Institute of Technology, è rappresentato dall’offerta a livello mondiale dei Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), che non hanno limiti nel numero dei partecipanti e non prevedono l’iscrizione vincolante e onerosa. Lo studio esamina, utilizzando la letteratura internazionale sull’argomento, le origini e l’evoluzione di questo nuovo sistema di fare didattica universitaria.</p>
