MOOCs and Open Education Around the World is an interesting and promising new edited collection having to do with massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education resources.

The transformational technological impact of the Internet offers practicable kinds of communication and interaction which are essential for e-learning technology. There are few trends in education over the past half-century that can match the sudden arrival of massively open online courses. It is now impossible to cover MOOC courses with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC classes. Some MOOC classes are based on video workshops plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some massively open online courses are a supply-side response to decades-long increases in the demand for elearning and e-learning. Massively open online courses are obviously becoming a relevant catalyst for innovations in blended learning. MOOCs and Open Education Around the World investigates the current state of digital education technology and education resources in general. This 2015 edited collection addresses quite a few important evolvements in massively open online courses (MOOCs). This significant new book also studies open education and online education issues.
