Where AI Meets Every Learner
In 2025, Every Learner Everywhere helped hundreds of higher education institutions navigate a rapidly changing landscape, expanding access to evidence-based digital learning, deepening student success for every learner, and meeting the moment as AI reshapes what’s possible in the classroom. Across the year, 717 institutions engaged with our network, 221 of them for the first time, and 1,894 educators participated in our programming. We launched two new AI-focused services in collaboration with ATD, APLU, CORA Learning, OLC, and WCET, one guiding institutional leaders on AI policy and strategy, and one helping faculty bring generative AI into the classroom responsibly.
Beyond direct services, our reach continued to grow. Free webinars and open-access programming drew 670 institutions, the largest year on record, and our blog readership jumped 49 percent, driven by timely content on AI, accessibility, and digitally enabled, evidence-based teaching. Our network now spans 59 countries, and our resources have been downloaded more than 40,000 times from our free library. Forty-three undergraduate students contributed to our work this year as interns, researchers, and panelists, bringing the learner perspective directly into the services, resources and conversations that shape quality digital teaching and learning.
We’re entering 2026 with two major new grant projects, a full professional learning course catalog, and a network more aligned than ever. This year we’ll launch credentialed learning pathways in digital learning and AI readiness, introduce a new consultative service connecting institutional transformation to workforce needs, and deepen research into how campuses can adopt AI sustainably and responsibly.
