Learner Wallets + LIF: What’s the Core Problem You’re Trying to Solve?

[kelhoyland]

This discussion is about learner wallets—not as a concept, but as something people are actually trying to use or build.

What problem are you hoping LIF helps solve for learner wallets?

Starting Points

You might consider:

• What information do learners struggle to collect or share today?
• What gets lost when credentials move between systems?
• Where do wallets add friction instead of reducing it?
• What do employers or institutions not trust today?

From Your Perspective

Helpful perspectives include:

• Learner or advocate
• Wallet builder or platform provider
• Institution, employer, or network partner
• Policy or standards contributor

You don’t need to have a polished answer—partial thoughts are welcome.

How This Will Be Used

This discussion will help inform:

• What data belongs in LIF vs. in the wallet itself
• What the “minimum useful payload” might be
• How portability should work across organizations

If you’ve tried a wallet and felt it didn’t live up to the promise, that experience is especially valuable here.
