Today’s society requires people with the ability to adapt to the constant changes that occur in everyday life. To develop such adaptation ability, it is essential for its members to carry out a lifelong learning pursuit of improvement of skills and acquisition of knowledge. Through this proposal the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) hopes to promote lifelong learning for most members of society. The proposal consists of a series of courses whose structure is similar to that of any Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). UNAM courses have been called Lifelong Learning MOOC (L3 MOOC) and their objectives are to bring education to different sectors of the population to promote educational equity; to provide a useful educational offer to society that can be applicable in everyday life; and to expand society’s cultural background.
