The significant influence of communication technologies, most evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a fundamental shift in global education. This study investigates the advantages of incorporating a blended learning approach, particularly by integrating Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) into undergraduate programs at a university in Vietnam. The study employs a qualitative methodology, focusing on conducting semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders, including administrators, lecturers, curriculum developers, and students. Through this approach, the study aims to uncover the primary advantages seen by these individuals. The findings highlight numerous crucial benefits associated with blended learning through MOOCs. Stakeholders place significant emphasis on improving professional knowledge and developing 21st-century skills. They aim to promote learner independence, encourage a lifetime commitment to learning, and prepare individuals for future career prospects. These findings provide practical insights into the effectiveness of blended learning using MOOCs and contribute to the broader discussion on modern educational paradigms. Notably, they highlight the alignment of these models with the evolving needs of students and the shifting expectations of the contemporary labor market.
