The Open edX platform's modular architecture lets you define skills at the lesson level. Seamlessly embed these micro-credentials into your curriculum, enabling learners to accumulate stackable, verifiable skills while progressing toward their degree.

Non-Credit, Skills-Aligned Credentials

Respond to urgent local employer needs by pulling lessons from degree programs and delivering them as non-credit credentials aligned with in-demand skills.
Open edX Studio makes it easy to author, remix, and deliver content. Repurpose existing material into standalone credentials, enabling you to quickly meet workforce demands with the exact skills needed for high-demand jobs.

Competency-Based & Personalized Pathways

Leverage a platform where lessons, assessments, and skills are independent and stackable to create personalized pathways, based on prior knowledge.
