Abstract
Lately, the globalization and massification of higher education offer involved more and more e-learning techniques inside universities. The article brings a perspective on our analyses of different trends in online education, especially MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Our research raised some questions, which are answered in this article, such as: What are the most important players/MOOCs? How can educational video content be classified? We analyse the technological particularities of MOOCs and focus more on what we think to be one of the main pillars of e-learning, the video lectures, offering our findings, together with recommendations for future MOOC creators.
