Since 2012, the Brazilian Federal Police, through the National Police Academy - ANP, offers to the community at large Massive Open Online Courses – MOOCs. Even without wide dissemination, the project, which started with only one course and 186 enrolled participants, has grown continuously and considerably. In 2015, 17 courses were offered to more than 2,000 enrolled participants from all over the country through ANP Cidadã, a learning environment open to the community. The institution also maintains a corporative learning environment, named ANP.net, currently with 16.122 registered users. In 2015, 116 courses were offered through that platform, with 8.618 enrolled participants. The courses offered in the MOOC format on the open platform are also available in the catalog of the corporative platform. The objective of this proposal is to present partial results of the inquiry of similarities and differences between six MOOCs offered by ANP and their traditional versions, covering aspects such as: socioeconomic profile of the participants, educational results (grades obtained in the evaluated activities; achievement, failing and drop-out rates), exploitation of the educational resources by the participants, prior expectations and evaluation of the courses and the platforms by the participants. Opportunities of improvement for both the formats are sought in order to refine the quality of the educational actions and positively influence the user experiences, making them more pleasant and productive from the educational point of view.
