MOOCs and Open Education is a fascinating and promising book pertaining to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OER). Digital learning has rapidly advanced in terms of interactivity and the opportunity to reach students in all parts of the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological influence of the information superhighway allows practicable forms of communication and interaction which are essential for e-learning technology. There are scarcely any trends in electronic educational technology over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of MOOC classes. It is now impossible to cover MOOCs with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some massively open online courses are based on prerecorded video group discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOC courses are an effort to respond to dramatic increases in the demand for elearning and training. MOOC courses are undeniably a significant change agent influencing technology-enhanced learning today. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World considers the current state of distance learning and open education in general. This Routledge edited collection addresses quite a few far-reaching advances in MOOC classes. This cutting-edge new book also addresses open education resources (OERs) and online education topics.
