• Framework• Openess to learners• Digital openess• Learner centred• Independent learning• Media supported learning• Quality focus• Spectrum of diversity• OpenupEd label

OpenupEd aims to be a distinct quality brand embracing a wide diversity of (institutional) approaches to open up education via the use of MOOCs. As a consequence, OpenupEd partners agreed to develop a quality label for MOOCs tailored to both e-learning and open education

11th European Computer Science Summit_Ossiannilsson 2015/10/12

Stephen Downes (2014)

Since each learner has her/his own objectives and success criteria, and the success of the course depends on each learner meeting their own goals, Downes (2014) offers four key success factors for a MOOC: autonomy, diversity, openness and interactivity. The success or failure of a course depends on how well it satisfies these criteria
