When examined by Carnegie classification, it is the research universities (Doctoral/
Research institutions) that are in the lead. They are almost twice as likely to be
offering MOOCs or planning to offer MOOCs (9.8% vs. the next highest of 4.5%
for Specialized institutions in offerings and 21.4% vs. the next highest of 11.8% for
Master’s level institutions for planning).
