The present thesis explores the design and implementation of a micro-MOOC focused on developing digital and entrepreneurial skills tailored specifically for the educational and school context, aligned with the DigCompEdu and EntreComp frameworks. The practical component involved the creation of a course on the Open edX platform, utilizing micro-learning principles to enhance participants’ competencies. Six existing MOOCs were reviewed to examine the instructional design, with a focus on structure, content, and pedagogical approaches relevant to micro-MOOCs. Relevant literature on online learning, micro-learning, instructional design, assessment and skills development was also examined to identify best practices and challenges in digital education. The findings contribute to the understanding of effective upskilling strategies in digital and entrepreneurial competencies, offering insights for educators and curriculum developers. The research highlights the potential of micro-MOOCs to provide targeted, accessible learning opportunities and the importance of aligning course content with established frameworks.
