Dhawal concludes that “the number of universities offering MOOCs has doubled to cross 400 universities, with a doubling of the number of cumulative courses offered, to 2400.” “22 of the top 25 US universities in US News World Report rankings are now offering courses online for free.”
What is interesting, too, is that Open edX has been the preferred platform to host MOOCs.
This is what the article says:
