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.
