The month in Learning (Technology): February 2015

Moving on from January, here is the live post for Feb:

• snow, snow, snow – closing schools across parts of the US, Canada and UK – reinforcing the value in online delivery and electronic ‘home work’ to avoid snow days.
• OpenLearning expanding their MOOC offerings through $1.7m investment – implications for Instructional Design market and other MOOCers.
• Not just an LMS but a Unified LMS – iCohere has drawn some attention for tying up with ADB partners (presumably similar to when providers like Blackboard have looked to expand their Instructional Design and research based practice):

• eLearning Innovation, LLC, acquires Advanced E-learning Solutions (aelearn) – consolidation in the eLearning industry…
• …and online training/content providers – $36m for Code School?!?
• D2L gaining clients in Asia…
• ..while Instructure is busy getting money together pre IPO.
