Samenvatting

In the fall of 2015 the Research Group Open Educational Resources of Fontys University of Applied Sciences - School of ICT has conducted a survey into the production and/or reuse of OER and MOOCs by Dutch publicly financed Higher Education (HE) institutions: 15 research universities, 38 university of applied sciences and 8 university medical centres. The goal of the survey was to provide an overview of the current situation regarding the creation, sharing and reuse of OER and MOOCs. Until then information was anecdotal, mainly about individual projects and programs.

In this paper data are presented on the following three main issues: production and publication of open educational resources (OER) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), re-use of OER and/or MOOCs (motives, forms and target audiences) and the presence or absence of an institutional vision and policy. Some of the outcomes of the survey are compared with the results of two other surveys: the survey of the OER Research Hub and a survey on policy for OER in the Netherlands in 2012.

The results of the current survey indicate that on many places in universities (including university medical centres) and universities of applied sciences OER and/or MOOCs are being published and reused, but also that many institutions still lack a coherent vision or policy on this subject. The data of the survey, however, do no yet provide an overview on which conclusions may be drawn for individual institutions. Further research must enhance the current picture.
