Adoption of Open Resources in MOOCs?

Colleagues/

I am greatly interested in the adoption of Open Resources in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

I am interested in all types of ORs, notably Open Educational Resources (OERs), Open Textbooks,  Open Data, Open Access journals, and institutional and subject Open Access repositories, among others.

I am particularly interested in the motivation for such adoption and the participation of librarians.

I'll identified one major initiative _Run aMOOC? An Examination of Course Materials in Massive Open Online Courses_ that I've blogged at

Note: I am also (generally) aware of other efforts that were mentioned (in passing) during the _MOOCs and Libraries: Massive Opportunity or Overwhelming Challenge?_ program at Penn and co-sponsored by OCLC Research

NB: I have been informed that the A/V will be available in the near future and will carefully renew.

Thanks for your assistance !
