Abstract(s)
MOOC (as an acronym for Massive Open Online Courses) are a quite new model for the delivery of
online learning to students. As “Massive” and “Online”, these courses are proposed to be accessible to
many more learners than would be possible through conventional teaching. As “Open” they are
(frequently) free of charge and participation is not limited by the geographical situation of the learners,
creating new learning opportunities in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). In this paper we describe a
recently started project “Matemática 100 STRESS” (Math Without STRESS) integrated in the e-IPP project
| e-Learning Unit of Porto’s Polytechnic Institute (IPP) which has created its own MOOC platform and
launched its first course – Probabilities and Combinatorics – in early June/2014. In this MOOC
development were involved several lecturers from four of the seven IPP schools.
