In this interview, Dan McFadyen, Managing Director of Edalex, and Bill Hughes, President and CEO of Education Design Lab explore the Lab’s work to create a more inclusive and adaptable learning ecosystem. The Lab focuses on “New Majority Learners” (or STARs) who are underserved by traditional education pathways. Their XCredit project validates skills acquired through alternative routes, making them recognisable and transferable. The discussion also covers the complexities of standardising skill recognition and the transformative potential of educational technology. Education Design Lab envisions a future where community colleges become “talent partners” for industry, fostering lifelong skilling opportunities, and ensuring that edutech supports all learners, particularly the New Majority.
