Digital Learning Ecosystems
Education is breaking free of the confines of the LMS (Learning Management System). Abundant online (mostly free!) tools and services allow both students and teachers to take advantage of broader resources and potentials within self-managed Digital Learning Ecosystems (DLEs). The inherent flexibility and autonomy encourages learners and educators to ‘own’ the learning experience in authentic, responsible ways.
Opportunity Statement
DLE ventures can offer better products and services for specific components of learning, as well as to help students and teachers better success in self-managing their evolving DLEs. Further ventures could support more effective parent involvement as well as to create bridges into more formal administrative systems.

I think DLE is a way leading to our dreamed “learner-centered education”. It aggregates all supportive resources necessary for a learner, including their parents! That’s the social&tech network specified in education. It’s not an easy work but definitely has the future. I would be an early client for ventures go in this way.
