Many countries face several challenges when trying to select, design, adapt, and customize a learning management system (LMS) that meets the particular needs of their education system: finding a scalable, flexible and robust platform; ensuring the interoperability and integration with existing solutions; planning the sustainability over time, and facilitating local ownership are just some of them. 

Today, you're listening to a conversation with the ProFuturo (https://profuturo.education/en) team (a digital educational program launched by Telefónica Foundation and "la Caixa" Foundation, present in 40 countries) about ProFuturo’s journey and how it mirrors what ministries of education are doing in terms of developing a learning management system for remote and blended learning. Robert Hawkins, Global Lead for Technology and Innovation in Education at the World Bank, and Inaki Sanchez, Analyst with the World Bank Global Edtech team, speak with Ana Delgado, Head of Product Marketing at ProFuturo Foundation, and Álvaro Ros Penche, Senior Expert in Global Partnerships and Institutional Relations at ProFuturo Foundation.

On February 18, the World Bank and ProFuturo hosted a webinar about open learning management systems.
