LRNG
LRNG enables an ecosystem of learning that combines in-school, out-of-school, employer-based and online learning experiences into a seamless network that is open and inviting to youth.
Collective Shift partnered with Concentric Sky to design and build the LRNG platform - a real-world student success network featuring Playlists and ePortfolios backed by Badgr.
Designed to scale in order to support urban youth around the world, the LRNG platform is a central clearinghouse for some of the world’s most forward thinking educational content.
In October 2018, LRNG and Southern New Hampshire University announced a merger designed to expand their innovative community-based education strategy into urban centers across the US.

In 2015, the company led the development of Open Badges 2.0 in partnership with MacArthur Foundation spin off, Collective Shift.[33][34] That same year, the company launched the open source project Badgr with partner edX.[35] The use of Badgr grew rapidly,[36] and by early 2018 the product had grown to serve nearly 10,000 organizations around the world.[2]
In 2016, the company announced a broad partnership with Collective Shift focused on advancements in education technology and workforce readiness. Under this partnership, the company developed LRNG and took over development of GlassLab Games, which included the educational variants of several popular video games including Civilization and SimCity.[37] GlassLab Games was shutdown at the end of 2018, and Concentric Sky worked to release many of the games open source.[38] |
