TLN 2023

The Trusted Learner Network™

A digital credential ecosystem built on trust.

What is the Trusted Learner Network™?

The TLN is made of up three pillars:

  • The TLN is a technology that allows learners to collect, explore and share digital credentials that they have gathered across their lifetimes. 
  • It is an environment guided by strong governance policies to ensure that the learner is always at the center of critical decision-making.
  • It is a community of digital credential experts and enthusiasts who are building an ecosystem to empower learners as they share their educational experiences.
