“Integration of Microlearning and Modular Courses”
- A growing trend in the MOOCs market is the increasing adoption of microlearning formats, where learners consume content in short, focused segments that cater to limited attention spans and busy schedules
- MOOCs platforms are now offering modular courses that allow learners to build personalized learning paths by stacking credentials toward professional certifications or degrees
- The flexibility, affordability, and targeted approach of microlearning are attracting both individual learners and corporate clients seeking to upskill employees quickly
- For instance, in September 2024, Coursera launched “SkillSets,” a modular course offering tailored to job roles, allowing learners to gain job-relevant skills faster
- This trend is expected to reshape digital education by making learning more adaptive, efficient, and outcome-driven, enhancing MOOCs’ value across global education and enterprise sectors
