| Abstract (English): | This study explores the social representations that students at the Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Xalapa (ITSX) and a public state university, the Universidad Veracruzana (UV), hold about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of male and female students regarding massive open online courses were analyzed. Based on the theory of social representations, a questionnaire was developed and sent by email to a representative sample of 575 students. The results indicate a clear difference between the two groups, as ITSX students, unlike UV students, possess more information about these courses, consider them to be of higher quality, view them as useful for their academic training since they receive academic credit for taking them, and regard them as an important option for their lifelong learning.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Este trabajo explora las representaciones sociales de estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Xalapa (ITSX) y una universidad pública estatal, la Universidad Veracruzana (UV) acerca de los Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC). Se analizaron los conocimientos, las actitudes y las imágenes que derivan de las experiencias de estudiantes de ambos sexos acerca de los cursos masivos abiertos en línea. Con base en la teoría de las representaciones sociales se construyó un cuestionario aplicado por correo electrónico a una muestra representativa de 575 estudiantes. Los resultados indican una clara diferencia entre ambas poblaciones, ya que los del itsx, a diferencia de los de la uv, poseen más información sobre estos cursos, los consideran de mayor calidad, útiles en su formación académica al recibir crédito académico por cursarlos y representan una opción importante para su formación permanente.
