Data Portability for Learners
Enabling data portability for Lifelong Learners
Discover how to benefit from and fully comply with GDPR right to data portability for your learners.
Why learner data portability benefits everyone
In the modern educational landscape, we find ourselves engaging with multiple learning platforms rather than just one. As learners progress through various stages, from primary and secondary schooling to higher education and vocational training, they often transition between different LMSs, sometimes concurrently or at different times. This creates a persistent challenge: managing and ensuring the portability of educational data, which tends to be spread across numerous platforms and institutions.
For training organizations and LMS administrators, personalizing the learning experience means relying on self-reported information, uploaded resumer or quizzes to glean insights about learners’ past experiences. However, this approach often lacks accuracy and reliability. The primary challenge for training providers is capturing learners’ attention effectively while adhering to mandatory data portability standards.
For companies specializing in learning personalization, technological advancements are opening new opportunities to enhance services. Embracing the DAPO-X philosophy now is crucial, as it enables the analysis of learner data to broaden your offerings, whether through comprehensive dashboards or in-depth skill analyses.
Current Challenges
Learners’ data are in many places and it’s difficult or impossible for a learner to get their learning data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
PDF only
Most organization provide, at best, learning data in pdf format. This format is not a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. So if you do that, you are not GDPR compliant.
No automated import
Learner must manually self-report learning history in each new platform. It’s time consuming and learner can either forget to report key information or even lie.
No personal drive
Learner can not collect nor share their own learning records in and from their personal drive.
