Working Group on Models for Course Support and Library Engagement Report FINAL.pdf | edX-lib

From docs.google.com - April 3, 2015 11:05 AM

They identified that libraries were supporting MOOCs by:

Copyright Clearance; Open content promotion; Licensing resources; Instructional support; Production support; in some cases with a general support model (e.g. a librarian assigned to each MOOC).
Institutional factors affecting the library's engagement with MOOCs were:

Nature of MOOCs offered by the institution; Institutional coordination of MOOCs; Models of MOOC support; Structure of existing [library] services; [library] Staff and budget.
