MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an authoritative and promising new edited collection related to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources. Digital education technology has rapidly evolved in terms of interactivity and the opportunity to reach people in every nation on earth since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the Internet offers powerful forms of communication and interaction which are essential for blended learning. There are hardly any trends in digital learning over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of these massively open online courses. It is no longer possible to cover these MOOC courses with one definition because there are many different categories of massively open online courses. Some massive open online courses are based on video group discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOC classes are a supply-side response to dramatic increases in the demand for teaching and learning and online learning. Massively open online courses are certainly a relevant change agent influencing online learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education articulates the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This Routledge Chapman & Hall edited collection investigates dozens of important historical trends in MOOCs. This exceptional new book also describes education resources and online education subjects. This book includes a preface which is titled “Actions Leading to MOOCs and Open Education Around the World”. For more info see this blended learning website.
