MOOCs are a fairly recent development. MOOC simply denotes a Massive Open Online Course, but in the larger context, MOOCs and open educational resources (OERs) may serve as a catalyst to improve higher education. There is therefore an increasing need to document and understand how people around the world are conducting these new forms of digital learning. 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. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World responds to this increasing demand by documenting implementations of MOOCs and other open educational resources. This MOOC book also discusses the potential hazards and educational improvements that are made possible by these new forms of online education. Amongst the many issues which need to be addressed are student-teacher interaction, various assessment strategies, and content delivery platforms. What are the different business plans of governments and other institutions which offer MOOCs today? What are the most controversial issues that need to be explored? This book about online learning describes the current state of MOOCs and other open education trends and topics. This new distance-learning book shares practical suggestions, real world stories, and important research findings. For more information please follow this link: Book about Online Teaching.
