The boom of MOOCs over the decade has revealed a new form of organization of production of educational contents : the platform. Faced with the multiplication of economic actors presenting this type of organization in the field of education and vocational training, we ask, within the framework of this article, a possible movement of "platforming" peculiar to the field. Through three case studies, we have sought to identify certain distinctive features, certain properties characterizing such a movement. Two aspects were favored : the first relates to strategies implemented by economic actors to attract and retain members around the goods and services they offer ; the second concerns the techniques of "putting into activity" of these members. In the end, the article sheds light on the ideological and organizational transfers that take place in the apparently unique direction of the computer world towards the educational world.
