MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an engaging and promising book relating to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources. Electronic educational technology has swiftly advanced in terms of interactivity and the capacity to reach humans all around the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the Internet makes available forms of communication and interaction which are essential for online education. There are hardly any trends in online learning technology over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of MOOC courses. We can no longer cover massively open online courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC classes. Some massive open online courses are based on prerecorded video conversations plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOC courses are a supply-side effort to meet decades-long increases in the demand for instruction and elearning. These MOOC courses are incontestably becoming a meaningful catalyst for innovations in digital elearning technology. MOOCs and Open Education discusses the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This 2015 edited collection examines a lot of notable developments in massively open courses (MOOC). This authoritative new book also explores open education resources (OER) and online education issues. This book includes a preface by Curtis J. Bonk, Mimi Miyoung Lee, Thomas C. Reeves, and Thomas H. Reynolds. The first part of this book is about “MOOCs and Open Education: Historical and Critical Reflections” and includes Chapter #2. This book includes Chapter #5 by Carina Bossu, David Bull and Mark Brown. This book is about “Researching and Evaluating Notions of MOOCs and Openness” and includes Chapter #9. This book is about “Thoughts on the Quality of MOOCs and OER” and includes Chapter #10 by Karen Swan, Scott Day, Leonard Bogle, and Traci van Prooyen.
