3. MOOCs and OERs do not work. Brief analysis
They lack of a standardized quality, methodology, service provision or any other measure to guarantee an excellent learning process and high user performance
MOOCs, and many other Open Educational Resources (OER), do not really think about the user, but about the author
There are so few about professional or other useful competences
An OER is born without any business analysis, a clue about sustainability and a clear strategy for actual integration within the Educational system

4. MOOCs and OERs do not work. Brief analysis
We need to do more about OERs and MOOCs to improve their natural match with educational systems and methodologies, Administration policies, self-supported learning, needs from Society and the market, and personal goals towards improvement and career progress

5. Challenges for effective adoption of MOOCs
Competence-based approach
Course accreditation. Integration with the market
Credit recognition. Integration with formal programmes
Certified educational quality (e.g., Educational methodology)
Monetization. Sustainability
Technology access
Open, proper licensing
OUF coding system

6. Challenge #1. Competence-based approach
So far:
Content authoring seems opportunistic
From now:
Opportunistic is not bad, but not enough
OER must shoot at the aim of the problem, and provide:
Basic competences
To a broader audience
With a language-oriented support
For specific, in-the-field needs

7. Challenge #2. Course accreditation. Integration with the market
So far:
A course is created. Maybe it is accredited afterwards
From now:
A OER comes with a business plan which involves a clear link or agreement about accreditation by a target agency, market, company, user association, or any other empowerment body

8. Challenge #3. Credit recognition. Integration with formal programmes
So far:
A course is created. There is agreement on credit recognition
From now:
A OER comes with signed agreement for credit recognition by a specific academic programme or educational institution or Administration body (e.g. for school teachers, for a Master)

9. Challenge #4. Certified educational quality (e. g
Challenge #4. Certified educational quality (e.g., Educational methodology)
So far:
Free speech, free methodology, not-certified
From now:
A OER would benefit, and the OER community might encourage, a certification process to guarantee an optimum training methodology that improve the learning process

10. Challenge #5. Monetization. Sustainability
So far:
No business model, just based on good-willing & other resources
From now:
A business model is welcome. If based on private funding, or based on public support, or on individual-basis registration, all is fine, as long as the OER is sustainable along the time, and the service is provided properly to the user/customer/student

11. Challenge #6. Technology access
So far:
Quite broad and deep access to network and devices, Worldwide
From now:
Affordable and useful devices at home, School and university
Fight against the planned obsolescence for working devices

12. Challenge #7. Open, proper licensing
Free and open
OER made with tax payers’ budget (e.g. public university)
Free, but not necessarily open
OER made with private funding, for public good, keeping the copyright
Open, but not free
OER made with private funding, for private re-use, sharing the copyright
Not open, not free, but affordable
OER made with private funding, and sensible, sustainable sharing
(e.g., freemium, 3-layer access)

13. O = Open U = Universal F = Free Challenge #8. OUF coding system
Open is not always Universal
Universal is not always Free
Free is not always good
The OUF coding system for Educational Resources:
O = Open
U = Universal
F = Free

14. Challenges for effective adoption of MOOCs
Competence-based approach => Compulsory
Course accreditation. Integration with the market => Compulsory
Credit recognition. Integration with formal programs => Compulsory
Certified educational quality => Welcome
Monetization. Sustainability => Welcome
Technology access => Improve-able
Open, proper licensing => Improve-able
OUF coding system => Just a proposal
