MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is a thought-provoking and promising new edited collection about massively open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OERs). Education has swiftly progressed in terms of interactivity and the ability to reach learners in nations all around the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological influence of the information superhighway provides types of communication and interaction which are essential for electronic education technology. There are hardly any trends in blended learning technology over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of massive open online courses. It is now impossible to cover MOOC courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some MOOC classes are based on prerecorded video group discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some massive open online courses are a supply-side effort to meet recent increases in the demand for training and distance learning. Massively open online courses are clearly a relevant change agent influencing distance 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 edited collection deals with quite a few substantial developments in massive online courses (MOOC). This scholarly new book also examines educational resources and online education subjects. The front matter of this book includes Forward #2 by Fred Mulder. To find out more visit this books about education reform website.
