Abstract

Several government programs oriented to contribute in reducing digital divide gaps have emerge in Mexico, particularly in States like Jalisco, Nayarit, Nuevo Leon, Veracruz, and Aguascalientes. However, current alternatives have certain weaknesses and issues that should be solved in order to provide appropriate literacy. To contribute in achievement of this goal, here is proposed an alternative to conform a strategy based on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). First, a study was performed to establish the actual level of digital competences of current program users, and then obtained feedback was considered to structure the contents to offer through the MOOCs. This study was performed in the Aguascalientes state government program Vagones de Ciencia.
