MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an engaging and promising book having to do with massively open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OER). Blended learning has swiftly evolved in terms of interactivity and the opportunity to reach learners in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological impact of the Internet makes possible forms of communication and interaction which are essential for e-learning. There are scarcely any trends in digital learning technology over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOCs. It has become impossible to cover these MOOC classes with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some massively open online courses are based on recorded video seminars plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are an answer to increases in the demand for schooling and blended learning. Massive open online courses are noticeably becoming a powerful catalyst for innovations in digital learning.
