SkillBuild by Muzzy Lane is a series of online short courses that help higher education institutions, employers, and learners develop, assess, and verify durable skills. Skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, oral communication, and resilience are in demand among employers: According to research from America Succeeds, job postings request soft skills four times more often than hard skills. SkillBuild courses empower learners to gain and demonstrate these skills, which were. previously labor-intensive for educators and employers to assess. SkillBuild uses role-playing simulations (an area of tech in which Muzzy Lane has been one of the founding industry leaders) to provide learners with authentic, experiential learning activities. Along the way, learners are presented with real-world scenarios and asked to make choices that build on each other. As they encounter new information and see the effects of their decisions, they learn to course-correct. Simultaneously, the simulations auto-assess the learner’s mastery of each skill.
