Summary/Abstract: The work presented in this article focuses on the description of the learning process in the MOOC of algorithms and programming. It focuses more specifically on the study of the learning strategies adopted by students by examining discussion forums in a MOOC of algorithms and programming designed for undergraduate students. The results stated that students used two learning strategies to construct algorithmic content: cognitive strategies and social strategies. These results improve the didactic research on the MOOC by providing researchers with elements for the study of learning process in MOOCs.
