Eduventures Research Shows Accountability in Higher Education Drives Growth in Academic Computing Market
The Academic Computing market in higher education is destined for accelerated expansion driven by the evolution of the Learning Management System segment and the mounting external pressures for institutional accountability, shows a recent study by Eduventures, the leading research and consulting firm in the education market. In its report, Postsecondary Academic Computing: Identifying Opportunities Beyond the LMS, Eduventures provides a comprehensive view of the Academic Computing market as seen by higher education CIOs and senior academic leaders, as well as key suppliers. Postsecondary Academic Computing technologies, including Learning Management Systems, Learning Outcomes Management, Content Delivery, and Communication and Collaboration, play a key role in supporting the process and delivery of learning; nurturing an online collaborative communications environment; and collecting, reporting, and managing student learning data. Eduventures estimates the Academic Computing market will finish the year 2006 at $463 million, with an expected 11 percent annual growth rate through 2009.
