Seoul's lifelong learning portal has reached a significant milestone, surpassing 2 million registered members as of Friday. The online platform, launched in 2012, began with approximately 40,000 members and has steadily grown, adding an average of 350,000 new members annually over the past five years. Users from all across the country are attracted to the site, which offers a wide array of courses in various fields, including digital skills, artificial intelligence, humanities, arts, and culture.
In addition to these courses, the portal provides expert-led lectures and a subscription service that connects users with content from private Korean education platforms like Class101, Willa, and CreativeTV. This year, the city has revamped the portal's interface and introduced a homepage feature that enables users to discover courses suitable for their age group.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the city will host a public online event from September 11 to October 31. During this period, members have the opportunity to win prizes by submitting congratulatory messages or completing one of the portal's five most popular courses. Additionally, the city will introduce Seoul Learn Kids English, a free English learning program specifically designed for children.
