IEEE Learning Network Celebrates Five Years
Since its launch in 2019, the IEEE Learning Network (ILN) has been instrumental in advancing professional development through its diverse array of courses and programs. From specialized technical training to broader skill development, ILN online courses cater to professionals at every stage of their career and equip them with tools they need to succeed in today's rapidly evolving landscape.
ILN is also achieving its original goal of becoming a one stop shop for education from across IEEE. Now more than 40 organizational units of IEEE have listed over 1,400 educational opportunities in ILN that provide practical knowledge from, covering artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, renewable energy, career development, and many more topics.
About 322,000 learners from more than 190 countries have completed ILN courses, with 83 percent saying in a satisfaction survey that they would recommend the program to their peers.
The ILN is the go-to location for high-quality e-learning content to stay abreast with the latest topics in engineering and technology." -Jason K. Hui
Many courses also allow users to earn digital certificates and badges bearing continuing-education units (CEUs) and professional development hours (PDHs). More than 65,000 digital certificates have been issued.
Testimonials from the communityThe introduction of ILN and the single platform of educational products by IEEE Educational Activities a few years ago was a hugely welcomed initiative for many in the industry and academia," says Babak Beheshti, dean of the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences at New York Institute of Technology. ILN provides a one-stop shop for the technical educational product search. My university engaged in a pilot to use several e-learning modules available on the ILN in several undergraduate and graduate engineering courses. The outcome was so positive that we purchased it."
The ILN's centralized and comprehensive catalog has enabled me to stay updated on the latest computer hardware and software technologies," says IEEE Fellow Sorel Reisman, professor emeritus of information systems at California State University, Fullerton. The availability of digital certificates upon course completion and the ability to earn CEUs and PDHs is particularly valuable to technology practitioners, and reinforces IEEE's commitment to ongoing personal and professional development for both members and nonmembers of our international community of engineers and computer scientists."
For me, the ILN is the go-to location for high-quality e-learning content to stay abreast with the latest topics in engineering and technology," says Jason K. Hui, senior manager of engineering at Textron Systems in Wilmington, Mass.
In celebration of its five-year anniversary, during the month of July, ILN is offering US $5 off of select courses with the discount code ILN5.
