MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an illuminating and promising edited collection related to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open educational resources (OERs). Electronic educational technology has quickly grown in terms of interactivity and the ability to reach people in nations all around the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the information superhighway makes possible types of communication and interaction which are essential for distance learning technology. There are scarcely any trends in technology-enhanced learning over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOC courses. We can no longer cover these MOOCs with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC classes. Some massively open online courses are based on video seminars plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are an effort to meet global increases in the demand for tutoring and e-learning. These massive online courses are absolutely a powerful change agent influencing e-learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education considers the potential of digital education technology to provide access to new opportunities. This edited collection studies several far-reaching changes in MOOC classes. This cutting-edge new book also reviews open education and online education subjects. This book includes Forward #1 by George Siemens. This book includes Chapter #2 which is titled “The Single Canon: MOOCs and Academic Colonization”. The second part of this book includes Chapter #4. This book is about “Researching and Evaluating Notions of MOOCs and Openness” and includes Chapter #8 which is titled “MOOCs Downunder: Insights from the Open2Study”.
