Find out more about the new book MOOCs and Open Education
MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is a scholarly and promising new edited collection related to massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open educational resources (OER). Elearning has quickly improved in terms of interactivity and the capacity to reach humans in every nation on earth since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the Internet allows powerful kinds of communication and interaction which are essential for distance learning. There are scarcely any trends in online education over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOC classes. We can no longer cover these MOOC courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOCs. Some MOOCs are based on prerecorded video group discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOC classes are an answer to global increases in the demand for teaching and learning and e-learning. MOOC classes are absolutely a meaningful change agent influencing online learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education examines the basis for understanding the unprecedented educational opportunities available to individual educators academics, universities, and societies. This Routledge edited collection considers several substantial changes in MOOCs. This educative new book also describes open educational resources (OERs) and online education subjects. This book includes Forward #1 by George Siemens. The first part of this book includes Chapter #3. For more details go to this open education resource website.
