How Saudi Arabia is leading the AI classroom shift - Waad Hussain, Arab News

“Micro-credentials are really just an indicator of a lifelong learning shift,” Salcito told Arab News. “There was a time where you would build a four-year study and degree to fuel you through a world of work that was fairly stagnant or wasn’t changing as rapidly as the current world of work we're in now.” To remain relevant, Saudi institutions are increasingly embracing blended academic models. Faculty members are partnering with Coursera to embed content from industry leaders directly into curricula. "What I think we're starting to see is universities increasingly embrace micro-credentials and industry content within the context of a four-year degree or university curriculum,” Salcito said. “This is something Coursera is doing a lot of work with, both providing micro-credentials across our platform, but working with faculty members to embed content from leading industry providers like Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google within the context of a university course.”
