Resumen
MOOCs have proven to be an effective tool in some aspects of on-line open education. However, they still have problems such as high dropout rates, low student motivation and low interest in the provided certification by the labour market. This paper introduces several initiatives developed by the authors from 2012 to 2016 to try to solve these problems. Among these initiatives there are MOOCs devoted to provide VET qualifications on cloud computing and Internet of Things programming; MOOCs to improve practical skills acquisition through the use of remote labs; and the use of best app contest and communities to increase student motivation.
