or "MOOC" in general. This was not a study of MOOCs in particular, however, and the authors would have benefited from a more focused treatment of the field. Also, I do not agree with the authors' definition of MOOCs as "learning platforms with an open learning architecture", as their definition seems to extend beyond what most people refer to as a MOOC. As the authors acknowledge, MOOCs are merely another name for a large online learning community. Also, when discussing "an emerging field in the learning and teaching context", I do not understand how any emerging field may have been defined and studied at a level of sophistication that would have made this paper relevant. The first chapter is the clearest; however, the discussion of each of the authors in chapter two is very detailed, without sufficient connection between them. In chapter one, the authors provide a nice survey of the history of online learning. This helps to ground readers in the context of a field that has been around for well over a decade, but there is little in the first chapter that is novel or surprising. I wish there was more description of various "learning platforms" that are not the "MOOCs" of today, but instead were online communities (for example, Learning for All, or learning platforms for the general public). The authors also touch on the importance of feedback and the lack thereof in some platforms, but only in the context of MOOCs and for "non-traditional students". I would like to see more discussion of other communities that teach traditional face-to-face courses, so that readers may get an idea of the wide spectrum of online learning platforms. Chapter two focuses more on the differences between "e-learning and MOOCs", and then focuses on their history and development. In the context of this chapter, it is important to recognize that "MOOCs" have become a catch-all term for learning platforms with online platforms that are open to the general public. This chapter is largely a review of Wikipedia's online encyclopedia, which may be fine for Wikipedia, but not necessarily of interest to a reader. If the authors are truly interested in bringing a new audience to their work, then they need to connect it more closely to a particular field and draw upon a wider variety of experiences to build an analysis. In chapter three, the authors provide an in-depth exploration of "MOOCs in the Age of Anxiety", exploring the various definitions and concerns. This chapter is an excellent exploration of the literature, and in my view, should be the focus of the entire paper. The authors provide a fine treatment of the concerns raised by the literature and discuss them in a way that will be useful for MOOCs moving forward. The authors also provide a lot of details about MOOCs and their design that are of little value to a non-specialist. Rather, it is the authors' discussion of the current state of
