Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are changing the landscape of training and offer tremendous value for organizations looking to increase the overall level of talent in their workforce. "MOOCs and online learning are addressing three of the biggest obstacles to learning in the enterprise: the cost, inevitable technology obsolescence and accessibility," says Ryan Corey, co-founder of online enterprise learning platform Cybrary. By solving these issues, companies can easily invest in their human capital, boosting productivity and levels of engagement. And MOOCs benefit workers as well. Access to convenient, high-quality training programs can be a career-changing opportunity for many. Also, the ability of MOOCs to provide specific measures of performance makes them uniquely appealing. "That's why certifications are such valuable benchmarks. It's a performance-based analysis of your skill set that can be validated," Corey says. By utilizing MOOCs, organizations will be able to quickly and efficiently upskill their employees at little cost.
