Seoul's lifelong learning portal has reached a significant milestone with over 2 million members, boasting a diverse range of courses. Launched in 2012 with a modest 40,000 members, the platform has seen an impressive average annual growth of 350,000 new users over the past five years. The portal's offerings span various fields, including digital skills, artificial intelligence, humanities, arts, and culture, alongside expert-led lectures and a subscription service connecting users with content from private Korean education platforms like Class101, Willa, and CreativeTV.
This year, the city has revamped the portal's interface and added a personalized homepage feature that suggests courses based on users' age groups. To celebrate the 2 million member milestone, the city will host a public online event from September 11 to October 31. During this event, prize drawings will be held for members who submit congratulatory messages or complete one of the portal's five most popular courses.
Additionally, the city will introduce Seoul Learn Kids English, a free program aimed at introducing young learners to the English language.
