This document summarizes the state of open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the Netherlands. It provides context on the Dutch higher education system and outlines the goals of the Ministry of Education to promote openness by 2025. The document reports results from a 2012 survey and interviews on OER publishing, reuse, and vision/policy among universities and universities of applied sciences. It also compares these results to a later 2015 OER Research Hub study. While finding many open activities, it notes a lack of coherent vision/policy and limitations of the data like small sample sizes and self-reporting bias.
