MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is a dramatic and promising new edited collection relating to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OER). E-learning has rapidly improved in terms of interactivity and the capacity to reach people in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the World Wide Web allows potent types of communication and interaction which are essential for elearning. There are scarcely any trends in elearning over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of massive open online courses. It is no longer possible to cover these massively open online courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOCs. Some massively open online courses are based on recorded video conversations plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some massively open online courses are a supply-side answer to global increases in the demand for indoctrination and online learning. These massive open courses are unquestionably a meaningful change agent influencing technology-enhanced learning today. MOOCs and Open Education addresses the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This Routledge Chapman & Hall book discusses a lot of notable advancements in massive open online courses. This dramatic new book also examines open education and online education topics. The front matter of this book includes Forward #2 by Fred Mulder. The first part of this book is about “MOOCs and Open Education: Historical and Critical Reflections” and includes Chapter #2 which is titled “The Single Canon: MOOCs and Academic Colonization”. This book is about “Open Education Opportunities Now and On the Horizon” and includes Chapter #5 which is titled “Enabling Open Education: A Feasibility Protocol for Australian Higher Education”.
