Hello Sakai Community,

(Sorry for the multi-list post--but good news is hard to contain.)

Anyone familiar with Technavio, "a leading global technology research and advisory company?"

From a recent press release:

The eLearning market encompasses various sectors, including universities, schools, and industries, which increasingly rely on Learning Management Systems (LMS) for delivering digital educational materials. However, interoperability issues persist during LMS integration due to the lack of standardization and support for advanced formats like rich media, virtual reality, and mobile learning. This hinders the reusability of e-learning content across different vendors and systems. Other trends in the market include blended learning, student engagement, personalized instruction, and the expansion of offerings through strategic partnerships and advanced technologies.

  • The LMS industry is experiencing significant competition from the open-source solutions sector.
  • The global LMS market has experienced substantial growth in open-source LMS solutions.
  • Open-source LMS solutions have gained popularity, particularly in the higher education sector of the academic market.
  • Sakai and Moodle are prominent examples of open-source LMS providers.
  • Sakai offers an LMS tailored for educational institutions, featuring tools like online testing and Google Docs integration.
  • Moodle is another widely-used open-source LMS solution.
  • Open-source LMS solutions provide several advantages over proprietary LMS solutions.
  • The most significant advantage is cost reduction, as open-source LMS solutions do not require licensing fees due to being free from restrictive copyright laws.
  • Development and maintenance costs for open-source LMS solutions are also lower than those for proprietary LMS solutions.

Any ideas where this data came from and how we can capitalize on it? The Foundation is happy to help promote, leverage this to raise awareness, drive interest, etc.

Congrats on the good press and good work,
Patrick
