ABSTRACT
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have developed into one of the most prominent instruments of technology-enhanced learning, and their much-praised potential has often been connected to one of their core components: openness. In theory, this feature not only ensures free access to content, but also affects other aspects that enable participants to make the most of their learning experience, like re-using and copying materials or even creating derivative works. In practice, however, most MOOCs do not subscribe to these more advanced principles of openness, especially those provided by for-profit platforms.| Keywords | higher education · MOOCs · OER · openness |
