Abstract

In the three years since Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) reached critical mass in higher education, leading research universities across the world continue to participate through providers such as Coursera. Have practices regarding course materials listed in MOOCs changed during this time? Are more Open Education Resources (OERs) being used? Is content from institutional repositories being included? This paper will examine the current practices regarding “openness” and course materials in MOOCs.
