What DELEGACIÓN ÁLVARO OBREGÓN does

Biblioteca Digital TELMEX (BDT) is a free, non-profit digital education initiative jointly operated by TELMEX and Fundación Carlos Slim, serving the general Mexican public with a focus on digital inclusion. The platform hosts over 500 courses across categories including Programación (37), Robótica (23), Diseño Web (15), Multimedia (31), Emprendimiento (65), Ciencia, Arte y Cultura (155), Desarrollo Humano (28), Ciudadanía Digital (26), and Formación a Docentes (41). Courses are delivered through a Moodle-based Learning Management System combining asynchronous online content with optional face-to-face workshops under a constructivist pedagogical model, supported by microlearning modules and mobile-learning access. Course enrollment signals steady engagement — popular courses such as 'Robot Gusano' and 'Computación básica para todos' show ~44,500 enrolled learners, while smaller specialized offerings such as 'Lengua de señas mexicana' sit at 193 learners.

The business operates on a hybrid distribution model: a 24/7 self-serve online LMS at telmexeducacion.com plus two physical library locations in Mexico City — Aldea Digital Iztapalapa and Casa TELMEX SEMAR in Cuemanco, Tlalpan — which deliver in-person workshops and computer access to underserved neighborhoods. Curated specialized tracks include Machine Learning, Amazon Alexa skills development with Blueprints, AI art creation using Craiyon, Problem-Based Learning methodology integrating Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, Moodle, Miro, Padlet and Trello, and creative tools such as Adobe Photoshop. Distribution channels include a YouTube channel (UCrP4JrjqIP59P5NGi2KLL1Q), a toll-free contact center (800 122 1212), and the [email protected] email channel.

The entity is structured as a non-profit CSR initiative; all services are free and no revenue model, pricing, or external investors are disclosed. The platform has ~110 employees (per firmographics), a single named instructor 'Salvador Torres Zequera' (Profesor,), and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, regulatory actions, or leadership changes. Strategic dependency is concentrated entirely on its two corporate sponsors (TELMEX and Fundación Carlos Slim), with cross-promotion through Aprende.org extending reach within the Carlos Slim Group ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Platzi: Leading Latin American EdTech platform focused on professional digital skills (programming, marketing, design, data). Directly comparable Spanish-language course catalog and target learner segment, though monetized via subscriptions whereas BDT is free.
• Crehana: Latin American online learning platform offering Spanish-language courses in design, technology, marketing, and multimedia. Directly comparable category coverage and learner demographic to BDT's multimedia, programming, and entrepreneurship tracks.
• Capacítate para el Empleo (Fundación Carlos Slim): Fellow Fundación Carlos Slim initiative offering free online occupational training courses in Spanish. Highly comparable as a same-parent, free, Spanish-language digital-skills platform targeting Mexican learners and job seekers.
• Aprende.org: Direct peer operated by Fundación Carlos Slim; the same parent organization that co-sponsors Biblioteca Digital TELMEX. Both offer free Spanish-language digital education to the Mexican public with overlapping course categories and explicitly partner on content integration.

Emerging players

• Domestika: Spanish-language creative-skills course marketplace founded by Mexican entrepreneurs. Comparable to BDT in offering multimedia, art, and digital-creation courses to Spanish-speaking learners, though positioned as a paid marketplace for creative professionals.
• Miriadax: Spanish-language MOOC platform backed by Telefónica and major Latin American universities. Comparable as a free, Spanish-language online course provider targeting the same Spanish-speaking learner base, with overlap in digital-skills and teacher training content.

Regional players

• Cursos UNE (México X): Mexico's government-backed online learning platform offering free courses aligned with national priorities. Comparable as a free, Mexico-based, Spanish-language digital education platform serving the same general-public learner base.

Broad incumbents

• Coursera: Global online course provider offering certificates and degrees from universities and companies. Comparable in catalog breadth and self-paced learning model, though Coursera is global, paid, and credential-bearing versus BDT's free, Mexico-focused, non-credentialed offering.
• edX: Global MOOC platform offering university-level online courses. Comparable in self-paced digital course delivery and broad subject coverage, though edX is paid/credentialed and global rather than free and Mexico-focused like BDT.
• Khan Academy (en español): Global free educational platform with a robust Spanish-language version used as a supplementary activity resource within BDT courses. Comparable as a free, digital, self-paced learning platform, though Khan Academy focuses on K-12 academic subjects rather than BDT's digital-skills emphasis.
