The goals of this case study are to introduce the impact on “learners” and “learning” of the MITx MicroMasters Program in Supply Chain Management (SCM), and secondly, to show how this case can contribute to the SDG goals transforming the Higher Education System. Open online learning is revolutionizing the traditional educational landscape, both residential and also distance learning education systems. MicroMasters programs started in 2015 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and provide deep learning in a specific career field. These include a series of MOOCs (massive open online courses) which often equate to graduate level courses at top institutions. Beyond course credit, MicroMasters programs are also designed to advance learners’ careers. A MicroMasters credential is a standalone certificate recognized by employers for its real job relevance. Once a MicroMasters credential is obtained, students may apply to various Masters programs. If accepted, students can get credit for their online courses and pursue an accelerated graduate program on campus. This innovative process is also called ”inverted admissions” – accepting students on the basis of demonstrated competence in a domain, in place of standardized test scores of undergraduate grades.
