MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an enlightening and promising new edited collection about massively open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources (OERs). E-learning technology has swiftly advanced in terms of interactivity and the capacity to reach people in nations all over the world since the emergence of the Internet. The transformational technological influence of the World Wide Web makes available potent kinds of communication and interaction which are essential for online learning technology. There are few trends in electronic educational technology over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOCs. We can no longer cover massively open online courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC classes. Some MOOCs are based on recorded video seminars plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some massively open online courses are a supply-side effort to meet global increases in the demand for training and digital learning. These online MOOCs are clearly a relevant change agent influencing digital learning technology today. MOOCs and Open Education reviews the depth and nature of changes which include openness, faculty professional development, quality assurance, student success, and corporate learning. This 2015 Routledge book describes many meaningful developments in massively open courses (MOOC). This definitive new book also investigates open education and online education subjects. The front matter of this book includes a preface by Curtis J. Bonk, Mimi Miyoung Lee, Thomas C. Reeves, and Thomas H. Reynolds which is titled “Actions Leading to MOOCs and Open Education Around the World”. This book includes Chapter #2 by Karen Head.
