Edtech/Education
Business Drivers
• The internet “network effect:” enables accessibility to vast collections of education materials
• Technology has facilitated ‘new learning models’ which had redefined how students integrate learning into work and personal development
• Expanding life-time earning ‘gap’ of those educated at higher levels supports the value of education
• Broader workflow automation is eliminating old-line employment paths causing acceleration in worker ‘re-education’ needs and requirements
• Rapid growth of non-English markets for education content ‘technology leap’ embedding technology

Thoughts on Trends
Impacting EdTech
• Traditional content• Access models• Platforms• Accreditation • New technology
![Page 9: Edtech: Market Michael Cairns Information Media Overview ...publishersforum.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/05... · “EdTech”? • The intersection of technology tools and education](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042304/5ecf2336cbed8f009720668f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
End of Traditional
Content?
• Open educational course materials• Textbook form factor eroding• Battle for attention• “entrepreneur culture” forcing a rethinking of
the entire educational experience• Online vs offline – generational shift

Access Models
• Flattening of supply chain – enabling direct relationships
• But, complicated with more platforms, distributors, outlets, etc.
• Business model transition from “one off” sale to varieties of subscription models is difficult
• Publishers need to rely on direct relationships wherever they can
• Subscriptions/memberships assume higher engagement with customer
• “On the verge of learning about your consumers intimately. Need to wake up to this and learn from this”
• Institutional sales (B2B and B2B2C) more predictable

Platform Wars
• xml first workflows• Mobile: Apple vs Android• Bring your own device• Functionality• International markets• Acquisitions and roll-ups: beach heads are
valuable• Dependence on hardware and/or good
connectivity is likely to fail – lowest common denominator may be very low

Changing Accreditation and Degrees
• Work experience• Badges and certifications• Changing test and assessment requirements• On demand, in situ learning needs for career
advance• Life long learning

New Technology
• Virtual reality• Interesting for distance and/or remote users• In class headset is potentially a distraction
• Augmented reality• Significant opportunity in education and career
development• Turning 2D drawings into 3D models which can be
played with• Non-headset on the way?
• Makerspaces
