As massive open online courses (MOOCs) and other forms of open educational resources (OERs) proliferate, there is an increasing need to better understand how these new forms of digital learning are being implemented in different regions of the world. Educational institutions, governments, and corporate organizations want to learn more about these new technological innovations. How can MOOCs and OERs be improved? Recent changes in distance education have forced organizations to deal with concerns which include learner motivation, innovative assessment, quality standards, credentialing, accreditation, student attrition, and many other issues.
