What is Educational Platform

By offering students and teachers innovative tools and learning spaces, new information and communication technologies are rapidly changing how education is provided. Once mainly a question of displaying static hypertext documents, digitization has now extended to the management of content in dynamic systems that allow active participation. With this new stage in the digitization of education, often referred to as platformization, there is a need to reflect on the process's implications. Starting from a description of this new phenomenon and its manifestations—particularly in Italy—this chapter will explore the potential and critical aspects of platform education.
