Many of the world’s largest firms, platform providers, and top academic institutions have joined forces around a unified vision built on three pillars: a multi-platform lifelong learning ecosystem, a consistent protocol for learner credentials, and a growing body of research supporting the most effective methods for building learner skills and behaviors.”Why hadn’t it happened already? Because companies, including IBM, Unilever, Google, and others never before had teamed up to this extent, collectively commanding consumer-grade digital learning. Together, DLC founding members represent more than 39 million direct learners, more than a million digital credential completions and more than US $.5 trillion of annual revenue.
Voice of the learner survey committee
We divided into committees to achieve our goals. To help focus future directions for digital learning on the people who consume it, the Digital Learning Consortium adds the Voice of the Learner. In the spring and summer of 2018, we surveyed over 5,000 learners spanning 5 generations, from 114 countries in 15 professional fields.
