The Michigan Learning Channel (MLC) was developed in response to the reality that fully one-third of Michigan students — nearly 500,000 students — do not have access to reliable home internet, and even those who do have internet often lack access to sufficient devices, bandwidth, or technical knowledge to participate in online learning. By presenting high-quality standards-aligned content over broadcast and on multiple platforms, MLC offers unprecedented access while also offering educator-approved content that can benefit all students.
