CEMA: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que la expresión inglesa "MOOC" puede traducirse como "curso en línea masivo y abierto", equivalente que cuenta ya con amplio uso y que da lugar a la sigla "CEMA". Dado que "CEMA" es un acrónimo de no más de cuatro letras, lo apropiado es escribirlo enteramente en mayúsculas. 4, record 1, Spanish, - curso%20en%20l%C3%ADnea%20masivo%20y%20abierto
