Learning Experience Portals?

Clark Quinn

Anything people want, whether learning resources from a library to that quick checklist should be supported. There are other possible features – libraries, AI-assistance, paths, assessments, spaced delivery – but at core they’re portals. The Learning Experience Platform(?).
