International audience; While setting up a Massive Open Online Course for Lifelong Learners, the choice of the most adequate Learner Model for this most current contextis paramount: not all Learner Models are created equal, despite their overalladded value to facilitate the learner’s follow-up, course content personalizationand trainers/teachers’ practices in various Learning Environments. This systematic review of literature defines, compares, and highlights eight features of interest of Learner Models for Massive Open Online Courses from a LifelongLearning perspective. It discerns 17 of the most-current, existing Learner Models out of 442 search results. It concludes on the four most adequate, and current Learner Models in this context. In addition, we study how they handle thelearning experience personalization. This work is primarily dedicated to MOOCdesigners/providers, pedagogical engineers and researchers who meet difficulties to model and evaluate MOOC’s learners using Learning Analytics.
