Refers to both the system-level and individual-level ability to move learning and learners seamlessly across educational, training, and work contexts.

• Learning mobility focuses on the systems, policies, practices, programs, and initiatives designed around the needs and best interests of the learner of today and the future at every stage of their journey. Learning mobility enables the recognition, validation, and transfer of learning—such as credit mobility, prior learning assessment, and interoperable records of achievement.
• Learner mobility centers on the individual’s experience navigating these systems, moving across institutions, geographies, or career pathways while building on previously acquired knowledge and skills.

Together, learning mobility and learner mobility represent a learner-centered approach in which education and workforce systems are designed around the needs and best interests of learners, supporting equitable access and continuous progress along often nonlinear learning and work journeys.

Alternate terms: credit mobility, transfer, prior learning assessment
