The MOOCs emerged as instruments for education democratization by free online courses. However, MOOCs have a high dropout rate for their students. In this sense, this paper presents some results about whether communicability problems are related to the general causes of dropout in MOOC courses. In order to reach this objective, the Semiotic Inspection Method was applied in Coursera and EDx MOOC platforms. From the results, it was inferred that communicability problems are associated with some of the general causes that lead to the abandonment or the withdrawal of students in MOOCs.
