MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is a definitive and promising edited collection about massively open online courses (MOOC) and open educational resources (OER). Blended learning has quickly expanded in terms of interactivity and the opportunity to reach people in every nation on earth since the emergence of the Internet. The transformative technological influence of the Internet provides types of communication and interaction which are essential for learning technology. There are scarcely any trends in digital learning over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOC classes. We can no longer cover MOOCs with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some massively open online courses are based on prerecorded video discussions plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some massive open online courses are an effort to meet global increases in the demand for e-learning and online learning. These MOOC courses are obviously becoming a significant catalyst for innovations in digital learning. MOOCs and Open Education considers the current state of distance learning and educational resources in general. This edited collection examines a lot of significant gains in MOOC classes. This fascinating book also considers educational resources and online education topics. 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”. The first part of this book includes Chapter #1 by David Wiley which is titled “The MOOC Misstep and the Open Education Infrastructure”. To find out more see this learning theory (education) website.
