Find out more about this interesting new book MOOCs and Open Education
MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an exceptional and promising book about massive open online courses and open educational resources (OERs). Education has swiftly grown in terms of interactivity and the ability to reach students in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological impact of the information superhighway provides potent forms of communication and interaction which are essential for digital educational technology. There are hardly any trends in blended learning over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of MOOCs. It is no longer possible to cover massively open online courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOCs. Some MOOC courses are based on recorded video group discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are a supply-side effort to meet dramatic increases in the demand for training and education. These massively open online courses are certainly a significant change agent influencing online learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education reviews the current state of online education technology and open education resources (OERs) in general. This Routledge edited collection examines quite a few notable trends in MOOCs. This book also reviews education resources and online education issues. This book includes Forward #2. This book includes Chapter #1 by David Wiley which is titled “The MOOC Misstep and the Open Education Infrastructure”. This book includes Chapter #5.
