characteristics of open: * enrollment (i.e., open registration), licensed materials (using Creative Commons) * gratis (available at no-cost), libre (everyone has legal rights to repurpose the resource) but some of the "new cohort of MOOCs are open enrollment but not yet openly licensed their courses (experimenting with various business models) "MOOCs should address copyright and licensing early on so they are clear to users how they can utilize and reuse educational materials offered on the site. MOOCs should choose to adopt an open license that meets their goals, but at minimum it is recommended that they choose a public, standardized license that grants to its users the "4Rs" of open content: the ability to Reuse, Revise, Remix, and Redistribute the resources.
