MOOCs and Open Education is a dramatic and promising new book related to massively open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OERs). E-learning technology has rapidly advanced in terms of interactivity and the capability to reach students in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological impact of the Internet makes possible practicable forms of communication and interaction which are essential for digital education technology. There are scarcely any trends in technology-enhanced learning over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of massive open online courses. It is no longer possible to cover these massive open online courses with one definition because there are many different categories of massively open online courses. Some MOOCs are based on video workshops plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOC courses are an effort to meet global increases in the demand for schooling and training. MOOC classes are a powerful change agent influencing digital e-learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World researches the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This 2015 Routledge edited collection analyzes quite a few critical historical trends in MOOC classes. This thought-provoking new book also articulates education resources and online education issues. This book includes a preface.
