The emergence and evolution of Digital Platforms in different sectors of society has caused significant changes in their way of living and operating. In education, the use and construction of these platforms is a reality in continuous expansion, now enhanced by the pandemic, due to the need for physical isolation. However, in order to understand their evolution in education and the transformations it has caused in the habitation of teaching and learning, is necessary to analyze, in addition to the digital technological evolution in relation to the type of connectivity, the understanding of education implicit in it’s architecture, evidenced by the possibilities it offers for the teaching and learning processes to develop. We propose a conceptual framework that allows us to understand digital interaction platforms as a complex relational ecology that carries a specific communicative way of living. In this context, we created a typology that resulted in four main models: Platforms for providing and accessing content, Interactive Platforms, Open World Platforms and Ecological Interaction Platforms. The latter, due to its openness and because it allows for a network connection, hybrid between different entities, gives them a symbiotic «living» ecosystem character, which would allow us to name as Inventive Connective Ecosystem Platforms.
