What was the opinion of French e-learning professionals on MOOCs when they first started to develop in France? What were their first representations? How did these emerge and evolve? This research paper will attempt to answer these questions with the results of a survey of around one hundred of these professionals working all around France. This survey was carried out at the very beginning of MOOCs in France, i.e. from January 30 to February 20, 2014. This period approximately covers the end of the second season of ITyPA and the first month of the launching of FUN.
