Lange Beschreibung:

The OpenupEd initiative was launched on April 25th 2013 by an online international press event. OpenupEd is a quality brand and partners are collaborating on those MOOCs that really focus on opening up education for all. Although there's a clear diversity of institutional approaches, the partnership has agreed on a framework of eight common features for its MOOCs in order to open up education to a maximum level. The partnership has agreed on applying an international quality label for its MOOCs based on these features framework. OpenupEd has been initiated and is coordinated by the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) and mostly involves open universities. The 11 launch partners are based in France, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, and the UK, and outside the EU in Russia, Turkey and Israel. Another 10 institutions confirmed that they most likely will join this initiative in the near future. About 20 institutions showing serious interest in becoming partner of OpenupEd.
