It focuses on the nature of such scaffolding and what effect it has on learning. After an analysis of the theoretical aspects of supporting refugees and migrants in this type of course, a case study is presented. This study focuses on the inclusion of scaffolding in the design, development and running of two Spanish LMOOCs for imme­diate needs, created within the MOONLITE project in collaboration with support groups for displaced people. The results of the study sup­port the use of scaffolding as a mechanism that improves the course completion rates (increasing from the usual figure of around 10% to 31 % and 30% in the respective courses ), language learning, and the overall satisfaction and motivation of the students.
