Abstract
This paper presents the national cases on the open online courses recognition. This result is directly related to the non-formal education, i.e. which means as a collective term for all forms of learning and education which happens in all fields outside of formal educational systems. The lack of accreditation is an issue to be addresses to policymakers. The lack of formal recognition for MOOCs could be a reason why they are taken by participants who already have university degrees, because they are taking courses to update their skills. The paper shows some national cases of the open courses recognition.
