State of the US Higher Education LMS Market: 2015 Edition

By Phil Hill. Posted on October 14, 2015

Listen
I shared the most recent graphic summarizing the LMS market in October 2014, and thanks to revised data sources it’s time for an update. As with all previous versions, the 2005 – 2009 data points are based on the Campus Computing Project, and therefore is based on US adoption from non-profit institutions. This set of longitudinal data […]

Instructure: Accelerating growth in 3 parallel markets

By Phil Hill. Posted on July 13, 2015

Listen
I’m not sure which is more surprising – Instructure’s continued growth with no major hiccups or their competitors’ inability after a half-decade to understand and accept what is at its core a very simple strategy. Despite Canvas LMS winning far more new higher ed and K-12 customers than any other vendor, I still hear competitors claim that schools […]

I shared the most recent graphic summarizing the LMS market in November 2013, and thanks to new data sources it’s time for an update.

By Phil Hill. Posted on September 17, 2014

Listen
In yesterday’s post I described where I (and many others) see the LMS market heading in terms of interoperability. At the same time, the LMS does a very poor job at providing a lot of the learning technologies desired by faculty and students. There is no way that a monolithic LMS can keep up with […]

LMS and Open: The false binary is based on past, not future markets

By Phil Hill. Posted on September 15, 2014

Listen
D’Arcy Norman has an excellent blog post up titled “On the false binary of LMS vs. Open” that captures a false framing issue. We’re pushed into a false binary position – either you’re on the side of the evil LMS, working to destroy all that is beautiful and good, or you’re on the side of openness, […]

ITC Survey: Four trends to watch in LMS market for community colleges

By Phil Hill. Posted on May 6, 2014

Listen
The Instructional Technology Council (ITC), an affiliated council of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), has conducted a distance education survey since 2004 focusing on online education trends among community colleges in the US and Canada. With this focus, the member colleges tend to be those with a stronger interest in online education programs […]

The Resilient Higher Ed LMS: Canvas is the only fully-established recent market entry

By Phil Hill. Posted on February 6, 2014

Listen
For a few years starting in 2009, it seemed one of the best ways to raise VC funds or corporate internal investment was to say “we can beat Blackboard with a new cloud-based platform”. Witness Coursekit / Lore, Instructure / Canvas, OpenClass, LoudCloud Systems, Helix, and even more recently MOOC platforms. There were many articles […]
