According to the article, "The initiative, called Common Microcredentials Framework, is spearheaded by the European MOOC Consortium, which comprises Europe's largest MOOC providers:

  • FutureLearn, which is based in the UK and has 9 million learners.
  • Miriada X, which is based in Spain and has 4 million learners.
  • FUN, which is based in France and has 1.6 million learners.
  • EduOpen, which is based in Italy and has 54 thousand learners."

It would be interesting to see wider adoption of the microcredetnials framework by other MOOC providers, but I think it is unlikely companies like Coursera or Udacity want to cooperate with others.
