MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is a fine and promising new book about massively open online courses (MOOC) and open educational resources. Digital education technology has quickly developed in terms of interactivity and the ability to reach students in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological impact of the information superhighway provides practicable types of communication and interaction which are essential for digital education technology. There are scarcely any trends in distance learning technology over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of these massively open online courses. It is no longer possible to cover these MOOC courses with one definition because there are many different categories of massive open online courses. Some MOOCs are based on video discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are an effort to meet recent increases in the demand for edification and elearning. These massively open online courses are plainly becoming a significant catalyst for innovations in elearning. MOOCs and Open Education discusses the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This edited collection articulates several notable evolvements in massively online courses (MOOC). This impressive book also talks about open education resources (OERs) and online education subjects. The front matter of this book includes Forward #1. This book includes Chapter #1 by David Wiley which is titled “The MOOC Misstep and the Open Education Infrastructure”. This book is about “Open Education Opportunities Now and On the Horizon” and includes Chapter #4 by Gerard L. Hanley.
