FutureLearn is working normally
Check the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.
IsDown has tracked 32 incidents since started monitoring FutureLearn status in October 2022. We collect data from 4522+ services, and normalize the data to give you a clear picture of the impact of the outage. It will show official FutureLearn outages and also issues that we're started by a spike in crowdsource reports.

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if FutureLearn is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about FutureLearn's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
