Since their emergence in 2011, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have garnered significant media attention due to their disruptive potential in education. As university-level courses offered free of charge on digital platforms, they have also sparked conflicting opinions regarding the quality of education and the future configuration of higher education systems. This book contributes to the ongoing debate by presenting a comprehensive comparative analysis of the diffusion and social implications of MOOCs in the United States, where they originated, and in Europe, where they were later adopted by higher education institutions but have experienced remarkable growth. By examining the impact of MOOCs at both macro and micro levels, with a particular focus on the opportunities they offer learners to acquire knowledge and skills, The Diffusion and Social Implications of MOOCs serves as a valuable resource for social scientists with interests in new technologies and higher education.
