Stephan Downes provides an in-depth overview of the Learning and Performance Support Systems (LPSS) program, a new $19 million 5-year initiative at the National Research Council that he will be leading. The objective of the LPSS is “to build a system where individuals can access, and get credit for, learning from any education provider at all, whether from home, the workplace, or at a school.” The LPSS program will deliver software algorithms and prototypes that enable Canada’s training and development sector to offer learning solutions to industry partners that will address their immediate and long-term skills challenges.
