Summary	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) Haber explains the origins of MOOCs, what they consist of, the controversies surrounding them, and their possible future role in education. He proposes a new definition of MOOCs based on the culture of experimentation from which they emerged, and adds a student perspective missing in most MOOC discussion. -- BOOK COVER
