This is from last year, but I only just found it, and it remains relevant today. It's the results (71 page PDF) of a questionaire of European higher education institutes (HEI) on their approaches to MOOCs. Here's what's significant: "the  majority  of  HEIs  (66%)  are  not  connected  to  one  of  the  big  MOOC platform providers (e.g., edX, Coursera, FutureLearn, Miriada X, etc.), but offer their MOOCs in their institutional platforms or in available regional/national platforms." Additionally, "respondents (51%) agreed that MOOCs should be for everyone" and suggested a range of possibilities to reach those left behind. Reading this report was a refreshing antedote to the crass commercial perspective I read yesterday in Forbes.
