Next Generation Learning Challenges
Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) accelerates educational innovation through applied technology to dramatically improve college readiness and completion in the United States. It is a collaborative, multi-year initiative focused on identifying and scaling technology-enabled approaches to dramatically improve college readiness and completion, especially for low-income young adults. NGLC, therefore, addresses college readiness and completion as a continuum of interrelated issues spanning secondary and postsecondary education. The program provides grants, gathers evidence about effective practices, and works to develop a community dedicated to these persistent challenges.
NGLC re-imagines the future of student success with IT as an essential enabler, making customized, interactive learning possible. IT also makes it possible to extend the reach and multiply the benefits of such innovations for the thousands of students who need them most. By participating in NGLC - as a grant seeker, a potential adopter, or a community member
An Executive Committee, comprised of EDUCAUSE, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, and the Council of Chief State School Officers guides the project’s overall efforts. EDUCAUSE has management and fiduciary responsibility for the program.
