Abstract: The purpose of this study is to extend knowledge about the role of context in the design and delivery of entrepreneurship education courses, in particular a novel course form: micro-credentials. We review the characteristics of micro-credentials and identify building blocks for massive open online course -based micro-credentials. Through a single case study, we examine this evolving form of open education in entrepreneurship education. Our results suggest that contextual considerations should be extended beyond the design stage of an entrepreneurship education course. Educators need to monitor changing contexts during implementation since learners bring their own contextual backgrounds. Contextual richness provides a considerable platform for entrepreneurial networking among learners. Finally, educators, particularly in international teams, should be aware of the impact of their own contextual backgrounds as well.
