First of all let me tell you what a DLC even is! A DLC is a digital learning community (a website) that allows people to join and share information, create an account that will connect them to others that are like minded and join a community of people that helps your needs, whether that be in the classroom for you or your students.
I explored 5 different sites and also joined them, being a teacher right now has helped me figure out what my students would like also. I joined Khan Academy, because at this point of my educational career, it is my absolute favorite and makes the most sense to use in the classroom as well as it does a great job of keeping parents involved with their learning. Khan Academy allows students to watch videos of standards they are covering in class in interactive demos that they can share with their parents, use as homework practice and for general practice outside of the classroom.
https://www.khanacademy.org/- This is the website I chose to join and for obvious reasons- it is a great resource for teachers as well as parents and students!
http://openstudy.com/- This is a very cool website! You can study with others on an open forum!
http://www.uopeople.org/- This is a non-profit university of learning! Enjoy going to classes without the hassle of spending any money! Good for your brain and your wallet!
http://www.thefunkuniversity.com/- Online music lectures for learning bass!
http://www.cosmolearning.com/- A free online learning source for teachers and students of homeschool.
I believe that Khan academy does a great job of getting students intrigued as well as being a great resource for teachers. You also don't have to pay and it is run by donations, which makes this site so wonderful. I believe that all sites should be as accessible as Khan Academy and joining a DLC should also be optional to enjoy the benefits.
