A book on online motivation and retention published by the new company OpenWorldBooks titled MOOCs and Open Education Around the World that will be published by Routledge. The new book does concern MOOCs in a way since it can address the student retention and engagement issue that we are hearing about regarding MOOCs, but it addresses much more than that. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is one of the most creative books about massive open online courses (MOOCs). Online instructors can learn how to foster curiosity, design a safe climate for learning, give feedback, foster interaction and collaboration, nurture student autonomy and creation of products, and much more. The intent is for higher online learning retention and the development of more self-directed online learners. For more information please visit MOOCs and Open Education.
