Abstract: Abstract This study aims to determine the impact of a MOOC-based e-Platform on the qualification and training of Saudi women in order to achieve sustainable development, as well as to justify the barriers, requirements, and impacts. The descriptive-analytic method was utilized to characterize and comprehend the phenomenon under study and its dimensions. As an experimental group, 410 women received training in skills development via an e-platform created by the researchers (using the Mooc system). The results illustrated what the MOOCs-based e-platform offered in terms of content, training activities, videos, direct access to beneficiaries, and the potential for participation and effective communication between educators and peers. In addition, the MOOC-based e-platform enabled students to engage in activities that supported the growth of newly acquired skills. The results demonstrate the homogeneity of the sample in terms of academic credentials, specialization, age, training courses, and occupation. This represents the motivations of Saudi women. The study suggests emphasizing the use of MOOC-based e-learning platforms as an effective means of empowering women and increasing their leadership roles and participation in all disciplines, as well as positively impacting their lives and enhancing their leadership and practical skills.
