One of the great advantages for universities in using MOOCs is their global reach. Rather than restricting an online course to a small group of learners, MOOCs provide an opportunity for networking and social/peer learning that the closed e-learning structure doesn't. It is also an opportunity for the university to promote their institution and provide a stepping stone to gain more campus enrolments.
On the flip side, instructors cannot provide the same level of support to learners in a MOOC that they can in a closed course.
In combining the two structures however, universities are increasingly using MOOCs in a blended learning format for their campus-based courses where the students are required to follow a MOOC module for example prior to classroom discussion on the topic. This frees up an instructors time who can then spend less time "lecturing" and more time engaged in constructive discussion and teaching in the classroom.

How does Cloud Computing fit into MOOC Course?

Can we consider MOOC as course management system?

How does Cloud Computing fit into MOOC Course?

MOOCs typically use cloud computing due to their scale and on-demand format. You wish to read this report: http://web.hitit.edu.tr/dosyalar/yayinlar/hakankor@hititedutr051120151P8B0K1N.pdf

Can we consider MOOC as course management system?
What is the difference between CMS and LMS?

I would say CMS relates more to the MOOC format as it focuses on the course content. LMS is used more for managing the learners within an organization, tracking learning and performance reporting. There is however some overlap between the two systems.
To understand the difference, these articles explain it quite well:
Course Management System VS Learning Management System | LearnDash
LMS vs LCMS vs CMS...changing one letter makes a big difference.

Features of a MOOC vs e-learning:

All types of e-learning:

Autonomy
The structure is conceived to promote autonomous learning with a number of resources in the form of videos, links, documents, etc. and spaces for debate and communication.

On line
To take these courses all you need is a computer, internet connections and the use of a global web server. You can learn at home conveniently, flexibly and at your own pace.
N.B. Some e-learning courses don't require an internet connection

MOOCs only:

Massive
The number of places on courses is unlimited, the scope is global and the courses are aimed at people with different interests and aspirations.

Open and Free
The course materials are available on internet and are all completely free. Students just have to register beforehand.

Thanks Ms.

one more points I want to make sure from it

in terms of size of network:
is right that e-learning has only big server? and on the side, MOOC has many server such server for DB, server for user profile or not?

Yes, typically MOOC platforms would run on multiple servers.

I try to find references in details about MOOC servers to prove this point.
May you help me?
