Previously issued in print: 2017.
Summary
At the beginning of the 2010s, MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, seemed poised to completely revolutionise higher education. But now, just a few years into the revolution, educators' enthusiasm seems to have cooled. As advocates and critics try to make sense of the rise and fall of these courses, both groups are united by one question: Where do we go from here? Elizabeth Losh has gathered experts from across disciplines - education, rhetoric, philosophy, literary studies, history, computer science, and journalism - to tease out lessons and chart a course into the future of open, online education. Instructors talk about what worked and what didn't. Students share their experiences as participants. And scholars consider the ethics of this education.
