Massive Open Online Courses and Higher Education: What Went Right, What Went Wrong and Where to Next?

This is the first volume that addresses Massive Open Online Courses from a post-MOOC perspective. We move beyond the initial hype and revolutionary promises of the peak-MOOC period and take a sober look at what remains. The book explores the future of the MOOC in higher education by examining what went right, what went wrong and where to now for the massification of higher education and online learning. The chapters in this collection address these questions from a wide variety of different backgrounds, methodologies and regional perspectives. They explore learner experiences, the move towards course for credit, innovative design, transformations and implications of the MOOC in turn.
