  • Abstract
    More and more adults return to school, they chose courses from a variety of universities. Some chose further training because they want to change their jobs, others because they need a degree to progress in their carriers. Worldwide this tendency was speed as MOOC concept. "The New York Times" named 2012 the year of MOCC. The MOOC expression was created by Dave Cormier and Bryan Alexander in 2008 as an answer to the "Connectivism and Connectie Knowledge" (CCK08) course. The course had 25 paying and 2200 independent students. Every course was accessible in some form of online system, which had communication sharing opportunities, like blogs. The University of Óbuda would like to use more vigorously the program started in 2013, in which the students could access as much as possible learning materials for their chosen courses. In the second half of 2013-2014 academic year, the university made accessible 5 free of choice e-learning courses, in which students did not have personal contact with a teacher. This presentation summarizes the opinions of our students about these 5 online courses, the teaching staff, the University\´s support of adult education and the expectations of our students how study either on a distance learning or correspondence courses.
