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. Everyone wants to better understand these new digital initiatives. How can online learning techniques be improved? Recent changes in online learning have forced institutions to invent new protocols to handle assessment, accreditation, quality standards, credentialing, motivating MOOC students and many other important 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. There are many questions being asked about the interaction possibilities, assessment schemes, and delivery formats. What are the different business plans of companies and other entities offering MOOCs today including edX, MITx, Coursera, Udemy, and Udacity? What are the major obstacles and problems that need to be dealt with? This collection of MOOC articles and open education articles discusses useful research findings, practical teaching suggestions and distance learning recommendations.
