I'm totally agree with this post, in Spain roughly 25% of adults are unemployed and change this is not easy for policymakers, but I think the web and Internet can be a solution thanks to his directly contribution to GDP and employment.
In this way I consider that MOOCs, projects like UniMOOC, are the future way to learn and develop digital skils that traditional universities don't teach right now.

In the other side, I would like to say that Spain is not an specially entrepreneur country. It's necessary more entrepreneurship culture and support from institutions and policymakers if we want to reverse the situation and improve the growth and economic development to be in a good position for the future.

I think that UniMOOC has included these ideas in his course about entrepreneurship in the digital economy, and this is very useful for the spanish citiziens because the course it's accessible (free) and pushes everybody to improve his knowledge about the entrepreneuship in the web, and this is essential for Spain.


pd: apologies for my bad expression in English

A interesting issue is the world map of people that have registered for the UNIMOOC, here you are: http://aemprende.unimooc.com/public/map

It's true we are not specially an entrepreneur country, but new era of education has finally come to Spain, and projects like UniMooc are not just revolutionary, but necessary.
Let's show the world what we can do now from Spain once we have the resources!.
