Dear Mr. Widmaier!

I did my best to find you academic studies on E-Learning/Digital Learning - platforms. You find the documents enclosed and and article here below:

Will Dalton & Brian Turner (2019). " Learning Management Systems for education and employers " . TechRadar is part of Future US Inc., Available at: https://www.techradar.com/best/best-online-learning-platforms

May I let you know there is an ongoing research project titled as "CEPHEI" -

"Cooperative E-learning Platform for Industrial Innovation", available at: https://www.cephei.eu/en/about-us/

The project manager is Ms. Iuliia Shnai - email: [email protected]

You might want to contact her. Hope YOU find these info useful, Have a Nice Day! Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

Thank you very much for your documents and the other information!

After my first scan I am not sure, if those are useful for me, even though they are very interesting. What I was looking for are studies or other literature regarding LIVE-STREAMING PLATFORMS like TWITCH.TV and E-Learning or DIGITAL LEARNING. The documents you provided me are about Learning Management Systems, which are used in other ways than for live-streaming, if I am correct?

Dear Mr. Widmaier! Yes, you are right. May I add: I know platforms you need - such as the BrightTALK : they have online live-webinars, and online conferences on wide range of topics. Please sign up for free and access the online channels you see appropriate at:

https://www.brighttalk.com/join/ & https://www.brighttalk.com/summits/

One can set up his or her own channel as well. I only have not found any studies concerning this online hub.....Actually BrightTALK recently teamed up with Elsevier to run "Research Intelligence" - channel and Elsevier Researcher Academy:

The good news is that you are at the forefront of tech integration and learning. integration. That makes it very difficult to find articles about your particular topic. It also positions you nicely for contributing substantially to the field. I would recommend that you steer away from focusing on a particular streaming service (although you can certainly use twitch as your area of investigation) and focus more on the characteristics of video streaming services, as those can be cross-applied to platforms present and the future.

At this early juncture in the literature, you may have to drill down at to levels a little bit level than journals for some initial findings (e.g., proceedings). You may also have to cross apply other concepts as opposed to direct literature on the subject (e.g., gamification). Below are some examples regarding twitch that may be directly or tangentially of use. I hope this helps give you a jump start and that your name is featured soon in the literature as a resource for others. -jd

Thank you a lot for your answer, that's what I was looking for. I already came to the conlcusion aswell to maybe analyze the characteristics of live-streaming platforms, maybe compare them with other E-Learning tools and develop some ideas, how the popular live-streaming websites could be used for education. Maybe as a last step I could develop a concept for a specific target audience with Twitch.tv as the central E-Learning tool. What du you think?

The literature you provided here is partly the same I already found, but I will have a look at the text I didn't find yet. Thank you again, it will help me a lot!

Here are some Links I found during my literature research and could be more or less helpful to work on this topic, in case someone wants to follow my research.

Our contribution to the topic:

I guess this could help:
