Over the past year, things have changed quite dramatically in the online education landscape. Many groups—from elite universities to well-funded startups—are investing heavily into building a new generation of software to meet a new generation of demands: Social, mobile, interactivity, rich multimedia, flexibility and scale.

“Yet, while these well-funded startups have the resources and capital to build custom platforms, there are thousands of traditional schools, education providers, learning coaches, etc. producing stellar learning content that lack the tools necessary to share their awesome content with the masses.

That’s where Pathwright comes into play. Greenville, South Carolina-based Pathwright was founded by a team of hackers (and educators) who have set out to build a platform for ‘the next wave of educators’—a simple, DIY content management system that lets any and all educators create, distribute, and sell online courses under the banner of their own branded, online schools.”

I think it looks beautiful. I only hope it is customizable enough to be genuinely useful across a wide range of courses.
