Online learning technology has rapidly advanced in terms of interactivity and the ability to reach people all over the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological influence of the Internet provides potent forms of communication and interaction which are essential for education.

Some massively open online courses are a supply-side effort to meet decades-long increases in the demand for schooling and online learning. These massively open online courses are unquestionably becoming a significant catalyst for innovations in distance learning. MOOCs and Open Education examines the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning.
