The paper gives a short overview on the topic of Massive Open Online Courses and providers of MOOC infrastructure. Selected MOOC-platforms are reviewed for accessibility with different set-ups of common screen-reading software and browsers. No platform was fully accessible, most lacked correct language markers and an accessible design. The results show that accessibility was not in focus when the platforms where built, thus excluding impaired people and not fulfilling the claim that MOOCs are open to everyone. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
