Resumen
En todo el mundo, incluso en los contextos en desarrollo, la mayoría de las universidades han adoptado diferentes plataformas y, con bastante frecuencia, muchas instituciones apoyan más de una plataforma simultáneamente. La autonomía y la autorregulación, que son características fundamentales de las instituciones de enseñanza superior, pueden impedir que el sector cuente con esfuerzos reguladores dirigidos por los gobiernos para abordar los numerosos problemas que surgen del uso universal de plataformas impulsado por gurús y vendedores tecnológicos. En su lugar, el sector tendrá que encontrar la manera de generar un entorno político y normativo propicio que maximice los beneficios de la plataformización y minimice sus riesgos. Este esfuerzo de autorregulación puede tener un importante efecto ejemplarizante sobre la forma en que otros niveles educativos abordan estas cuestiones e influir en las intervenciones públicas en las escuelas, en particular. En definitiva, las instituciones de educación superior tienen una gran responsabilidad social y política como proveedores de formación del profesorado e investigadores tanto sobre los avances tecnológicos que alimentan la plataformización como sobre sus implicaciones a todos los niveles desde una perspectiva crítica.
