Digital Promise believes in the promise of LER technologies for advancing the digital equity of historically and systematically excluded learners, earners and workers.
Yet, this vision is not possible without the inclusion of historically and systematically excluded people in the design of these emergent solutions. co-designing Learning and Employment Record (LERs) is a series of projects focused on co-designing design principles, project certifications and resources for the equitable and inclusive design of LERs.
The work is focused on:
How might Learning and Employment Records (LER) technology be more equitable in their design if co-designed with historically and systematically excluded learners and workers?
In collaboration with the Adult Learning (AL) team, we co-designed with historically and systematically excluded frontline workers a set of design principles for evaluating the inclusive design of Learning and Employment Record (LER) technologies.
In collaboration with the Marketplace team, we used the design principles co-designed with historically and systematically excluded frontline workers to develop a product certification to evaluate and visibly recognise LER technologies who meet the LER Inclusive Design Criteria.
Digital Promise has recognized the following technologies, which are the first to earn this new certification:
How might Learning and Employment Records (LER) be best designed to support historically and systematically excluded learners and workers during learning transitions?
With historically and systematically excluded learners and workers we co-designed a set of design principles to serve as guidelines for evaluating how Learning and Employment Record (LER) technology may support learners and workers experiencing learning, life or career transitions.
