Presentation of discussion panel during EMOOCs2016 conference on latest survey HOME project compared to other research. Several independent studies have been conducted about why institutions are investing in MOOCs and open education. During this discussion session, the results of some recent studies are presented. The data suggest significant differences between US and Europe and even between European countries. This difference will be discussed and in addition the possible implications for a (collective) European answer.

22. MOOC offering in Europe
• European institutions are more involved in MOOCs than the US
• Is Eastern Europe going to be involved significantly as well?
• In Czech Republic 66% is planning a MOOC
• In Poland 24%
• Large US and EU differences:
• ECTS framework
• Difference between higher educational systems.
Continental European related to state funding - most institutions
have equal resources
Market-based US model has mixed private-public funding and
provision with large differences between HEIs.
• What are the main motives at institutional level to be involved (or
not) in MOOCs?
