I. Elaine Allen, Jeff Seaman. Babson Survey Research Group and Quahog Research Group. January 2013
This is the tenth annual report on the state of online learning in U.S. higher education. The
survey is designed, administered and analyzed by the Babson Survey Research Group. Data collection is conducted in partnership with the College Board.
This year’s study, like those for the previous nine years, tracks the opinions of chief academic officers and is aimed at answering fundamental questions about the nature and extent of online education. Based on responses from more than 2,800 colleges and universities, the study addresses:
"Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Are We Heading for Online 2.0?, Is Online Learning Strategic?, How Many Students are Learning Online?, Who Offers Online?, Does it Take More Faculty Time and Effort to Teach Online?, Are Learning Outcomes in Online Comparable to Face-to-Face?, Has Faculty Acceptance of Online Increased?, Barriers to Widespread Adoption of Online Learning"

Douglas H. Fisher and Armando Fox, COMPUTING COMMUNITY CONSORTIUM. February 12-13, 2013.
An explosion of public and academic interest in online education accompanied the early high-profile offerings of massively open online courses (MOOCs) in 2011 and 2012 by some of the country’s leading education and research institutions, as well as by non-profits, companies and other content providers. This surge has particularly focused on undergraduate education, but is occurring in the context of a long-standing online education landscape of research and practice for K-12 education, lifelong learning, as well as higher education. The new ingredients of large scale (or massive) and free-accessibility (or open) add significantly to the transformational possibilities on education, for accessibility, quality, flexibility, affordability, as well as definitional changes to its boundaries, form, and content.

Li Yuan and Stephen Powell, JISC CETIS. March 2013.
This report sets out to help decision makers in higher education institutions gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and trends towards greater openness in higher education and to think about the implications for their institutions. The phenomena of MOOCs are described, placing them in the wider context of open education, online learning and the changes that are currently taking place in higher education at a time of globalisation of education and constrained budgets. The report is written from a UK higher education perspective, but is largely informed by the developments in MOOCs from the USA and Canada. A literature review was undertaken focussing on the extensive reporting of MOOCs through scholarly blogs, press releases as well as openly available reports and research papers.

On April 3 and 4, 2013, the ELI teaching and learning community gathered for an online focus session on Learning and the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This report is a synthesis of the key ideas, themes, and concepts that emerged. This report also includes links to supporting focus session materials, recordings, and resources. It represents a harvesting of the key elements that we, as a teaching and learning community, need to keep in mind as we explore this new model of learning.

Universities UK, May 2013
This publication has been produced by Universities UK, the representative organization for the UK’s universities. Founded in 1918, its mission is to be the definitive voice or all universities in the UK, providing high quality leadership and support to its members to promote a successful and diverse higher education sector.
This report from UUK aims to provide a helpful and timely summary of recent developments, and a discussion of the issues behind the provision of MOOCs. The global growth of feature of the higher education environment, may well represent a threat to some institutions. At the same time, UK universities have proved themselves to be flexible, resilient and entrepreneurial, and many will be looking online for new opportunities to develop their provision and their profile.

Grayson Court, University of Washington. August 21, 2013
The goal of this report is not to push professors into adopting MOOCs or press UW into developing more in the future. The intent is simply to educate faculty, staff, administrators, and the general public about MOOCs in order to make informed decisions in the future. It is a tool that can be used to understand a new and exciting concept, an instrument to create a more educated public. In a sense, this report on MOOCs is trying to achieve the same goal as MOOCs themselves: distributing information and knowledge to a large group of people, for free.
The report is broken up into three separate sections:
Understanding MOOCs: A general description of MOOCs and how they are used.
Questions and Answers: Analysis of commonly-asked questions and concerns.
The Big Question – Do MOOCs threaten the quality of higher education?: A position paper that addresses the concerns regarding the quality of MOOCs and their role in higher education.

The report examines the relatively new education delivery model of massive open online courses (MOOCs) and begins the conversation about the potential impacts of this model on K-12 education.
The release of this report coincides with the launch of a MOOC running from October 7 to November 8. This free course, “K-12 Teaching in the 21st Century,” is aimed at high school students, pre-service teachers and in-service teachers who are interested in a conversation about using 21st century tools for teaching. The experience is designed to provide participants with a deeper understanding of MOOCs, along with an introduction to emerging and free technologies such as presentation media, online artifact creation, and collaboration innovations.

Brian D. Voss. March 2013.
The environment in which MOOCs and other forms of online education operate is changing virtually every day. Based upon a presentation given to the board of directors of AGB, this white paper is an effort to give board chairs, presidents, and others some context to help guide discussions on their own campuses.
Author Brian Voss is the vice president and CIO at the University of Maryland’s flagship campus in College Park and also a member of the EDUCAUSE board of directors, serving as vice chair for 2013.

UNESCO, July 2013
The New York Times labeled 2012 ‘The Year of the MOOC’. Less than 24 months after the launch of the first massive open online course (MOOC) at Stanford University and with potentially over 5 million students around the world now registered with a MOOC platform, massive open online courses would appear to be a new and significant force within higher education (HE). However, it is still unclear what effect, if any, MOOCs will have on the HE sector in the longer term and whether their explosion in popularity has enough momentum to sustain their method of educational delivery.
This Policy Brief aims to provide a background to the expansion of MOOCs, explain their differences and similarities, identify the types of students using MOOCs, investigate their business models and potential direction, and finally to scope the risks and benefits associated with their development.

Michael Gaebel, EUA. March 2014
EUA has published its second Occasional Paper on the topic of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
A follow-up to the first paper published at the beginning of 2013, it is designed to inform and update EUA member universities and other interested stakeholders on the broad range of MOOCs developments that have taken place in recent months particularly in Europe and North America, but also more widely.
Focal points from paper presentation:
• financial aspects of MOOCs (incl. costs of production and maintenance);
• implications for both learning and teaching;
• and the question of awarding credits for MOOCs.

Li Yuan, Stephen Powell and Bill Olivier. cetis. January 2014
The critical discourse emerging around MOOCs is providing an opportunity for institutions to develop a more strategic approach to online learning. This includes enhancing existing classroom teaching practices, promoting institutional reputation and developing new revenue models. There are indications that some MOOCs are becoming more focussed on corporate training, which suggests that they may not pose a immediate threat to the existing pedagogical, revenue or business models of higher education institutions (HEIs). The number of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) will continue to grow with the development of credit bearing courses likely to be a trend.
The findings from this report are summarised in three sections: key themes that have emerged from the MOOC experiment, opportunities that institutions should consider exploring, and longer-term strategic considerations and likelihood that this will happen for institutions.

To date, there has been little evidence collected that would allow an assessment of whether MOOCs do indeed provide a cost-effective mechanism for producing desirable educational outcomes at scale. It is not even clear that these are the goals of those institutions offering MOOCs. This report investigates the actual goals of institutions creating MOOCs or integrating them into their programs, and reviews the current evidence regarding whether and how these goals are being achieved, and at what cost.

Andrew P. Kelly. Bellwether Education Partners. MAY 15, 2014
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a new form of digital learning that has enthralled some, infuriated others, and changed the conversation about higher education in the U.S. and abroad. Lost in this polarizing debate is a clear assessment of how this new medium is actually affecting postsecondary education and how it could be used in the future.
In this paper, Andrew P. Kelly clarifies the debate around the purpose and potential of MOOCs. Kelly argues that MOOCs are neither a panacea nor a passing fad, and instead, can serve as a tool for enhancing higher education and career training if properly deployed.

SURF. March 2014
This third edition of the SURF Open Education Trend Report was compiled by the Open Education Special Interest Group, and features contributions by experts from the Dutch higher education sector.
The global development towards open education dates back more than ten
years. In 2006, several Dutch universities followed suit with the publication of
OpenCourseWare. Although several institutions had already embraced the concept of open education for some time, the issue seems to have truly taken hold in the Dutch higher education sector since 2013, largely due to the growing popularity of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

Prof. B N Jain, Girish Gopalakrishnan, Lokesh Mehra, Mohan Kannegal, Manish Upadhyay, Rajesh Pankaj and Viplav Baxi. FICCI Vision Paper, July 2014
The paper divides the Higher Education systems into three sectors – formal, non-formal and informal – and sets the context for MOOCs to be leveraged in each of these sectors. MOOCs can play a transformative role each of the three sectors. The report describes each sector and outlines how MOOCs can be leveraged to fulfil needs in that sector. We then proceed to identify specific ways in which MOOCs can be used within each sector, illustrating them with vignettes or examples of use. In conclusion, the report proposes a mechanism to execute the vision through the establishment of an initiative that shall educate and empower stakeholders to adopt MOOCs.

The tenth edition describes annual findings from the NMC Horizon Project, a decade-long research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in higher education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning.
The 2013 Horizon Project Higher Education Advisory Board initially voted on the top 12 emerging technologies — the result of which is documented in this a interim report: the NMC Horizon Project Short List > 2013 Higher Education Edition. This Short List then helped the advisory board narrow down the 12 technologies to six for the full publication. Those results are available in the official Preview.

Ithaka S+R has now published Interactive Online Learning on Campus: Testing MOOCs and Other Platforms in Hybrid Courses in the University System of Maryland. Looking specifically at how faculty in the USM incorporated MOOCs and OLI into their courses, our report points to several positive outcomes:
1) Using MOOC and OLI courses in hybrid formats, faculty were able to achieve outcomes comparable to traditionally taught sections with, on average, considerably reduced class time
2) Students in these hybrid sections fared as well or (using OLI) slightly better than students in traditional sections in terms of pass rates, scores on common assessments, and grades;
3) These findings held true for academically at risk students as well, including those from low-income families, under-represented minorities, first-generation college students, and those with weaker academic preparation.

UBC successfully delivered fve massive open online courses (MOOCs) in
the spring and summer of 2013. Individual MOOCs incorporated diferent pedagogical design strategies to achieve their desired learning outcomes and course objectives. The pilot MOOCs lasted from fve to eleven weeks and provided tens of thousands of learners worldwide, including over 8,100 students who earned certifcates for completing the courses, with an opportunity to engage with UBC instructors and learning materials.

The University of Melbourne entered into an agreement with Coursera in September 2012 to offer massive open online courses through Coursera’s platform.The University released its first MOOC – Principles of Macroeconomics – in early 2013 and since this time it has designed, developed and delivered a further ten MOOCs. Seven more MOOCs are destined for release in late 2014 and early 2015. The MOOCs produced by the University of Melbourne showcase its broad research and teaching expertise. The report presents simple “data snapshots” of each of the University of Melbourne’s MOOCS that have been delivered up to June 2014.
