in 2011, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been at the
centre of a great deal of media attention, owing to their
disruptive potential in education. As university-level courses
delivered free-of charge on digital platforms, they have also been
the occasion of conflicting views regarding the quality of
education and the future configuration of higher education systems.
Based on new empirical research, including qualitative interviews
as well as quantitative data from learners across several MOOCs,
this book contributes to the debate by providing a comparative
study of the diffusion and social implications of MOOCs in the USA,
where everything started, and in Europe, where MOOCs were belatedly
adopted by higher education institutions but now exhibit remarkable
growth. Investigating the impact of MOOCs at macro level, on
national higher education systems, as well as the social
implications of MOOCs at micro level, with particular attention to
the opportunities offered to learners to acquire knowledge and
skills The Diffusion and Social Implications of MOOCs provides an
encompassing comparative investigation of the specificity and
social implications of the diffusion of MOOCs in two geographically
and institutionally diverse contexts. As such, it will appeal to
social scientists with interests in new technologies and higher
education.
