MOOCs and Open Education is a definitive and promising edited collection related to massively open online courses (MOOC) and open educational resources (OERs). 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 massive open online courses are obviously becoming a significant catalyst for innovations in digital learning. MOOCs and Open Education considers the potential of distance learning to provide access to new opportunities. This 2015 book articulates several important advances in massively online courses (MOOC). This breathtaking new book also considers open 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”. This book includes Chapter #2 by Karen Head which is titled “The Single Canon: MOOCs and Academic Colonization”. For more information visit this learning theory (education) website.
