Digital transformation in higher education encourages universities to develop innovative technology-based learning models to improve the quality and learning experience of students. One approach that has been widely studied is blended learning, which combines face-to-face and online learning. This study purposed to formulate conceptual recommendations for educational institutions in designing strategies for implementing MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) based blended learning in the design of higher education courses. This study used a literature review approach by analyzing various relevant scientific journals and academic publications. The focus of the study was on the potential of MOOC based blended learning in transforming the learning process and improving student academic achievement of Muhammadiyah Bogor Raya at the third semester. The results of the literature review showed that the integration of MOOCs in blended learning contributes positively to learning flexibility, student independence, and the strengthening of digital skills and learning time management. This approach supports more adaptive learning in accordance with the diverse needed and characteristics of students. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for educational institutions in developing blended learning policies and practices in higher education.
