<![CDATA[Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at the Indonesian Open University are independent learning tools that provide the opportunity to introduce the University to the wider community by providing quality knowledge for free. This research aims to describe the Indonesian Open University's efforts to provide solutions to limited access and quality of education by providing various free courses to the wider community through MOOCs which are open and can be attended by an unlimited number of participants. This survey study uses a modified Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) questionnaire, adapted to the profile of the community as participants and the characteristics of the Open University (UT') MOOCs program. In 2023, UT offers 23 MOOC titles, but this research limited it to only two MOOCs, Open Educational Resources (OER) with 56 participants and Parenting with 73 participants (129 teachers and parents of early childhood). This research revealed two MOOCs in real life which were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test to see whether there were differences in the answers between respondents who took part in the OER MOOCS and the answers of respondents who took part in the MOOCS parenting program. Apart from that, UT's MOOCs currently still use Indonesian considering that currently they are specifically for Indonesian people. UT MOOCs were developed using an open-source platform (Moodle) considering that previously lecturers and tutors had used similar platforms for their formal courses.
