Editors

Call for Chapters & Illustrators
Proposals Submission Deadline: November 15th, 2013
Full Chapters Due: April 15, 2014
Revision Submission Date: August 1st, 2014
Introduction
This book will explore the various aspects of MOOCs (cMOOCs and xMOOCs). It will serve as a primer into the MOOC field for professionals in the field of education, including professors, instructional designers, educational technologists, project managers, and administrators. The idea for this book came in 2011 after I had completed my first few cMOOCs, and seeing the nascent state of the field, I wanted to facilitate an open access book on the topic. The original proposal, which got some traction but I never pursued, can be seen here: http://bit.ly/147P574
Objective of the Book
This book will present chapters that revolve around the issues associated with the MOOCs in Higher Education, K-12, Corporate Learning, and other formal and informal learning environments. Issues in this book can fall under the areas of Pedagogy, Design & Development, Institutional Policies, Alternative Credentialing, Teaching and learning and so on. The book aims to present chapters that are research based. All chapters will be peer reviewed prior to acceptance to publication.
Target Audience
The anticipated audience includes researchers, teachers, instructors, professors and senior managers in Higher Education, policy makers, open learning designers, instructional designers, open learning Universities, professional accrediting associations, and government qualification recognition bodies.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
The following list is taken, as recommendation, from the initial Great Big MOOC Book Call. It should be noted that the term "MOOC" here is short hand for both cMOOC and xMOOC. The book aims to strike a balance between the two varieties of MOOCs. Chapters can include original research writing, researched position papers, articles describing the design and development of past MOOC, and lessons learned. All chapters will be peer reviewed.
Submission Procedure
Chapter contributors are invited to submit on or before November 15, 2013, a 2-3 page manuscript proposal clearly describing and explaining the topic of the proposed chapter. The proposal should include the chapter summary, table of contents, and authors’ contact information. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by December 30, 2013 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 15, 2014. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
Individuals interested in providing illustrations for this book, please contact the book editor
Publisher
This book is scheduled to be an Open Access, self-published book. Copies of the book will be hosted for free on scribd, scholarworks (UMass Boston), and academia.edu. Contributing Authors and Illustrators are also invited to host the book on sites of their preference. I am also planning on working with my University to sponsor the project so we can have University backing, we can get an ISBN and other resources to help expedite the publishing.
The Anticipated release of this book is December 2014 (sooner if I can ;-) )
