Education M&A Activity in 2013: Still growing, but changing

By Phil Hill. Posted on February 4, 2014

Listen
Like it or not, education is an industry, and much of the change we see affecting higher ed and K-12 institutions is driven by investment from the private sector. It can be useful to get a high-level view of the trends in private investments to help understand where private companies (edtech vendors, publishers, for-profit institutions, […]

State of the Anglosphere’s Higher Education LMS Market: 2013 Edition

By Phil Hill. Posted on November 9, 2013

Listen
I shared the most recent graphic summarizing the LMS market in September 2012, and thanks to new 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 […]

By Phil Hill. Posted on October 21, 2013

Listen
Last week Michael announced a new project of ours called e-Literate TV. To recap, the idea is that there are new groups involved in decisions that impact ed tech and online education.

By Phil Hill. Posted on August 27, 2013

Listen
Michael and I have written about California’s efforts to leverage online education to address the challenge of students having access to needed courses, but it would help to hear what students have to say. Towards that end, I am sharing a student newspaper article about Cal State’s new online concurrent enrollment program. The student is […]

You know what would help MOOC articles? Getting the facts and goals right before analyzing

By Phil Hill. Posted on August 20, 2013

Listen
Keith Devlin has an article at Huffington Post today titled “MOOC Mania Meets the Sober Reality of Education”. The premise is that the halting of the San Jose State University (SJSU) / Udacity pilot project and of SB 520 show that naive assumptions on the power of MOOCs to disrupt higher education are insufficient in […]

Moodle has quietly become the dominant LMS for online service providers

By Phil Hill. Posted on August 16, 2013

Listen
One subject that we have not covered much at e-Literate lately is the market position of Moodle. Given the significant LMS market changes over the past two years, it might be worth considering how institutions are adopting and using Moodle. In the US at least, there has been a significant change – whereas in previous […]
