Coursera has introduced something called 'skill tracks', "a tailored, data-backed learning solution to help functional teams develop critical and verified skills." To the rest of us these resemble learning programs. You can see a demo of the interface here. There are four major areas, with roles defined in each. A 'career graph' defines the skills needed for each role. The result overall resembles the long-envisioned model of learning objects, though of course none of these resources is open access.
