What is "openlearning"

OpenLearning is a for-profit educational technology institution based in Australia that offers a social online learning platform that can deliver massive open online courses ( MOOCs).

OpenLearning has worked with the University of New South Wales and Taylor's University to deliver the first MOOCs in Australia and Malaysia respectively.

In December 2013, OpenLearning launched a cloud based software product for companies to create private educational portals on its platform.

In February 2015, OpenLearning raised $1.7 million in funding led by angel investor Clive Mayhew. ASX-listed ICS Global, Robin and Susan Yandle, and Hideaki Fukutake, the director of Japanese education company Benesse Holdings.

In June 2015, the Australian Federal Government announced it would be getting its first MOOC delivered by Open Learning.
