Digital transformation in education: The FutureLearn view | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

In this piece, Nigel Smith of The Open University-owned FutureLearn, reflects on digital transformation in education over the past six years since MOOCs (massive open online courses) first burst onto the scene

Although the wellspring was in the US, the UK, Europe, India, Russia, Brazil and many others have joined the party. The global LMS/VLE vendors (Blackboard, Desire2learn, SAP) and Moodle have jumped on the bandwagon. Some so-called MOOC platforms aren’t really platforms at all – they’re aggregators.
