OpenLearning CEO, Adam Brimo, commented:
“SPCF’s decision to partner with OpenLearning highlights the growing demand for AI-powered learning platforms that elevate student engagement and outcomes. Our usage-based model allows SPCF to scale confidently, while our tools help educators design high quality learning experiences faster. We look forward to supporting SPCF as they deploy OpenLearning across their network of institutions.”
Strategic Context
This agreement is strategically important for OpenLearning as it demonstrates ongoing traction in the Philippines, a priority market alongside Australia and Malaysia. The Company continues to position itself as a trusted partner for education institutions seeking to blend social, project-based learning with AI-enabled facilitation.
SPCF, with over 18,000 students across Pampanga and Metro Manila, is designated as a Center of Development in IT Education by the Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines. Its partnership with OpenLearning represents a strong platform for technology-enabled learning and potential growth beyond the minimum contract commitment.
Samso Concluding Comments
OpenLearning continues to show that its AI-powered learning platform is finding a home in markets that are eager for scalable and innovative education solutions. The Philippines is a market where technology adoption and education investment are growing, and this agreement reflects a strong alignment between OpenLearning’s offering and local demand.
While the A$150,000 contracted value is not a material revenue driver on its own, the strategic impact is significant. These kinds of multi-year institutional partnerships are a critical part of OpenLearning’s growth strategy and create opportunities for usage expansion over time, which could drive incremental revenue beyond the minimum commitment.
This announcement also demonstrates that OpenLearning’s model resonates with institutions that have large, diverse student populations and require a platform that can scale effectively. The fact that SPCF selected OpenLearning after evaluating multiple LMS options speaks to the platform’s competitive differentiation.
For investors, the key takeaway is that traction in markets like the Philippines, combined with the company’s established presence in Australia and Malaysia, could lead to network effects and revenue compounding if adoption continues. This is an announcement worth noting, not for its immediate financial impact, but for the longer-term growth narrative it supports.
