MOOC it: Massive Open Online Courses in tweets. MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses are usually the same courses offered by the world's leading universities and professors on their campus, but now offered online, free and for anyone anywhere to enroll. Total MOOCs worldwide grew 201% last year, and they are changing at the speed of light. Over the next decade, MOOCs will impact every sector of the Education industry globally: Higher Education, K-12, Corporate Education/Training, and others. If you have been unable to stay on top of all the recent major MOOC news and developments, and don't have the time to read the massive amount of information that has been generated on MOOCs, then "MOOC it" may be a useful resource to scan key MOOC tweets segmented by area of interest; along with a chapter on key announcements per country/region: Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, China, Europe, India, Latin America/Caribbean, Middle East, Russia, USA, & UK. Other sections of "MOOC it" include: Accreditation, Business Models, Corporate MOOCs/Corporate Training, Credentials/Degrees, Design/Production/Quality, Employers/Jobs, Funding/Investments, Infrastructure, International (Per Country/Region), Market Growth, Technology, and other areas, "MOOC it" provides you with an easy to read and scan Twitter-sized overview per area with links to where to find more information on the developments you are most interested in. About MOOC It: We are students of MOOCs that found it very difficult to stay on top of all the many MOOC changes and developments taking place on a daily basis. In an effort to help ourselves address this challenge, we developed an internal means of helping our remote team stay informed and up to the minute on what we saw as some of the biggest MOOC news and developments. "MOOC it" was that effort, and it proved very helpful to each of us because it gave us key information in manageable twitter-sized chunks that we could quickly scan, and select those that impacted our individual areas of responsibility to read in greater detail at their origination source/link. We found it useful, and decided that it may be useful to other students of MOOCs, so that is how the 'MOOC it" book project/series came to be.
