Abstract
The findings revealed the great extent to which multifaceted change and flexibility is
needed at institutional and individual levels if MOOCs are to be adopted successfully
and cross-accredited across higher education institutions (HEIs). In as much as MOOCs
are easily accessible, there remain challenges in individual access in rural and township
areas, individual perceptions, and management resistance to adopt new ways of
accessing and offering online content. Among many interventions are awareness of the
available MOOCs and how accredited MOOCs can be designed with skills pathways
into jobs – that is the critical issue. NEMISA is working with the outcomes of the
findings to improve its 4IR course offerings along with a number of stakeholders in
industry, academia and international agencies.
