The New York Times declared 2012 to be "The Year of the MOOC" as millions of students enrolled in massive open online courses (known as MOOCs), millions of investment dollars flowed to the companies making them, and the media declared MOOCs to be earth-shaking game-changers in higher education. During the inevitable backlash that followed, critics highlighted MOOCs' high dropout rate, the low chance of earning back initial investments, and the potential for any earth-shaking game change to make things worse instead of better. In this volume in the Essential Knowledge series, Jonathan Haber offers an account of MOOCs that avoids both hype and doomsaying. Instead, he provides an engaging, straightforward explanation of a rare phenomenon: an education innovation that captures the imagination of the public while moving at the speed of an Internet startup. Haber explains the origins of

this book is an excellent departure point for inspiring discussions about the role of disruptive technologies in education and the ensuing tension between on-line learning and traditional brick and mortar experiences in the face of increasing commodification within higher education systems across the globe. Even if MOOCs themselves disappear in the near future, the need for dialogue about these sorts of issues will not, thus making this book a useful contribution to scholarship.

I believe with this book you will save yourself a lot of money on repairs. I have a "Sleep Cycle" app on there as well.
When bedtime came around, I plugged the phone in, set the "Sleep Cycle" to wake me at 5:15am for work and started listening to Mr. Forget trying to learn Generator from Macromedias sparse and under-documented manual included with its offering. This book hits the nail on the head. I loved to see the growth of both Karissa and Naz over the series, and the ending they both got was well deserved and I couldn't have thought up a better conclusion myself. John Bradshaw is a wonderful speaker, and advisor. I am very excited about this savings and looking forward to continuing to read this book and saving even more money. In The Diversion the war gets a little more complicated. You can trust me
'cause I've been there and it's simply amazing at how
