As new digital forms of formal and informal learning proliferate,
there is an increasing need to better understand how people in
different regions of the world are implementing massive open online
courses (MOOCs) and other forms of open educational resources
(OERs). Educators, researchers, politicians, and numerous other
stakeholders want to grasp what the outcomes of these initiatives
are and how they can be improved. Ongoing e-learning developments
related to both technology and pedagogy have pushed institutions
and organizations to grapple with issues of accreditation,
credentialing, quality standards, innovative assessment, and
learner motivation and attrition, among other areas of concern. In
response, MOOCs and Open Education Around the World explores and
illuminates unique implementations of MOOCs and open education
across regions and nations. The book also focuses on the various
opportunities as well as the dilemmas presented in this rapidly
evolving age of technology-enabled learning. What are the different
delivery formats, interaction possibilities, assessment schemes,
and business models? What are the key controversies or issues that
must be discussed and addressed? This edited collection explains
MOOCs and open education trends and issues in a variety of
contexts, shares key research findings, and provides practical
suggestions and recommendations for the near future.
