In the Italian university context, starting from 2016, EduOpen portal (https://learn.eduopen.org) was launched. It was realized within a project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) for an extraordinary intervention based on art. 11 of the Ministerial Decree of November 4 n. 815 (distribution of the Ordinary Financing Fund). The MOOC platform is made up of 17 Italian universities and a set of selected partners; the network is open to the access of other universities and institutions, associations of scientific and cultural relevance.
