GLG Network Survey: EdTech Market Overview

SURVEY DETAILS
TARGET POPULATION

Even though educational technology — or edtech — has been with us for a while (online education originated in 1960 at the University of Illinois), the major driver behind the adoption of education technology in the last year was doubtlessly the global shutdown caused by the pandemic. While schools of all levels shut physical classroom doors, the process of education moved online. Adoption of many of these technologies had to happen quickly.

The GLG Surveys team interviewed 115 senior education professionals (deans, professors/ teachers etc.) across the US, Europe and MENA region.

What will you learn from this survey?

  • Respondents commented on the Content Management System, Learning Management System and Student Information System their institution is using and whether it was easy for them to adapt to the new studying environment.
  • The survey gathered insight into digital learning tools used in the classroom and how they provide a 360 experience for both teachers and students.
  • The research also covered the budget used in implementing educational technology in institutions across the US, Europe and MENA region, as well as the respondents’ opinion on educational trends they think will have the greatest impact on teaching and learning in the future

Deliverables

The GLG Surveys team will draft the questionnaire with the support of GLG Network Member, Mark Ornstein, former CEO of University Prep Schools.
