A SPOC (Small Private Online Course) is an innovative digital learning format that has emerged as a more targeted format, encouraging cohort-based experiences with smaller learner groups and a defined start and end date. Their scaled-down approach allows for the design of content that is tailored to a usually more homogeneous audience. Through the integration of webinars, group projects, presentations, and quizzes (among other activities), a SPOC offers closer interaction between instructor and participants, as well as among participants. In short: a SPOC is a challenging learning experience that allows participants to acquire new competencies.
