Curtis J. Bonk, Mimi M. Lee, Thomas C. Reeves, & Thomas H. Reynolds (Eds.), Routledge (2015).
People in different regions of the world are implementing massive open online courses (MOOC) and other forms of open educational resources (OERs). There is an increasing need to better understand these new forms of digital e-learning. What are the outcomes of these online learning initiatives? How can these MOOC classes be improved?
Ongoing developments related to both e-learning technology and distance teaching pedagogy have pushed organizations to consider issues which include quality standards, accreditation, credentialing, innovative assessment, and learner motivation and student attrition, among other areas of concern.
In response to this growing demand for knowledge about MOOC classes, MOOCs and Open Education Around the World explores several implementations of MOOCs and other open education resources. This new mooc book also discusses some of the opportunities and also the potential dilemmas presented by this age of technology-enabled learning. What are the delivery formats, interaction possibilities, different assessment schemes, and business models? What are the most important issues that must be addressed? This edited MOOC book explains MOOCs and open education trends. This MOOC book also shares key research findings, and provides practical suggestions and recommendations for the near future.
