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? Current e-learning changes have caused institutions and organizations to address topics like quality standards, attrition, learner motivation, credentialing, accreditation, and assessment of MOOCs and open education. To satisfy this increasing demand for understanding, MOOCs and Open Education Around the World describes how to conduct a MOOC and other implementations of open education courses. 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 important issues that need to be resolved? This collection of MOOC articles and open education articles discusses useful research findings, practical teaching suggestions and distance learning recommendations.
