Abstract
The paper aims to present and discuss the results of a performance research related to the fusion between two advanced teaching methodologies and their latest evolutions: the practice enterprise (PE) and the massive open online courses (MOOC). Ongoing practices encourage the extension of experience to the synergy between PE and MOOC with particular attention to the preparation of different roles of the teaching staff represented by teachers, tutors and mentors. The hypothesis concerns how to evaluate PE and MOOC with the same methodology, distinguishing the real performances from the perceived ones. This result would pave the way for a common platform to use these advanced teachings together, perfecting their implementation. The document wants to argue that this fusion is not only possible but also necessary to implement the preparation of teachers for further diffusion of these innovative didactics in higher education programmes.
