Ricardo Queirós, collaborator at the Centre for Research in Advanced Computing System (CRACS) of INESC TEC, issued a new book of IGI Global, entitled “Emerging Trends, Techniques, and Tools for Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Management”.
In the digital age, online courses have turned into recognized learning instruments, providing an interactive and collaborative method of education. In that sense, it is through the Internet that the user can develop new ideas and enhance knowledge, sharing experiences, information and practices. Therefore, MOOC, or massive and free online courses, are the new way of learning at all educational levels.
Before the difficulties and the challenges felt within MOOC, namely in what concerns the design, implementation, management and development, this work covers several subjects, such as gaming in e-learning, programs that detect plagiarism and online language training. It is aimed at designers, IT professionals, software developers, academics and education professionals.
IGI Global is an international academic publication, market leader, that intends to find out innovative research in areas such as Management, Technology, Education, Engineering, Environment, Communication, Medicine, Humanities, amongst others, in order to increase the available knowledge to the community where it operates, working closely with researchers and professionals scattered around the world.
