MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an edifying and promising edited collection having to do with massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open educational resources. Online learning technology has swiftly grown in terms of interactivity and the capacity to reach participants in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the information superhighway makes available kinds of communication and interaction which are essential for distance learning. There are not too many trends in electronic education technology over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of massively open online courses. It is now impossible to cover these MOOC classes with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some massive open online courses are based on prerecorded video workshops plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are a supply-side response to dramatic increases in the demand for indoctrination and training. These MOOC classes are clearly becoming a meaningful catalyst for innovations in blended learning technology. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World reviews the basis for understanding the unprecedented educational opportunities available to individual scientists academics, universities, and societies. This 2015 Routledge edited collection researches several historical trends in massively open courses (MOOC). This breathtaking new book also talks about open education resources and online education subjects.
