Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses how massive digital education systems like MOOCs, facilitate the distance learningDistance learning aspects of formal education institutions and enable a peer-to-peer learning. It discusses how MOOCs open new income streams for traditional institutions through employment recruiting services, syndication, and sponsoring, as well as by advertising income, selling student information to potential employers or advertisers. To this end, this chapter first explains MOOC educational models (peer-to-peer and institutional) and the role that big data and analytics are playing in this context, highlighting institutional advantages, opportunities and challenges. It then explains two cases studies where big data and analytics played essential roles in the design and delivery of the curricula.
