Academic Software Market Insights

Integration of Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence with Academic Software Solutions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that gives computers the ability, in the same way as humans, to communicate with people, understand events, and learn and react to events. Over the years, artificial intelligence not only had huge applications across industries—such as security and surveillance and information technology—but it had also experienced a rise in adoption of the technologies in the education sector. AI is being adopted across schools, colleges, and universities for automating repetitive tasks, such as grading, financial analysis, and admission processes. For example, AI can be calibrated to learn and model teacher actions while grading, through advanced computer programs—such as Automated Grading—for automatic grade assignment in the future. Over time, the program would learn the academic skills of multiple students and, based on their performances, prepare customized training plans.

Deployment -Based Market Insights

Based on deployment type, the global academic software market is segmented into cloud and on-premise. The cloud-based academic software is witnessing high demand compared to on-premises academic software. The cloud segment generates the majority of the demand since it is comparatively less expensive due to strong network infrastructure in developed countries. In addition, the cloud-based academic software vendors are highly focused on developing a high-level security patch in order to eliminate the risk of cyberattacks. This factor is also creating significant demand from the end users, thereby driving the academic software market.

Application -Based Market Insights

Based on application, the academic software market is segmented into colleges and universities, educational services, and others. Increasing adoption of modern solutions across educational institutions and universities to offer both online and offline courses to students coupled with the initiative to make advanced solutions available to all staff and students is influencing the adoption of academic software. This is fuelling the growth of the market over the years.

Players operating in the Academic software market focus on strategies, such as market initiatives, acquisitions, and product launches, to maintain their positions in the academic software market. A few developments by key players of the academic software market are:

In December 2020, Alma student information system platform introduced grade point averages (GPA) feature which is been added to the grade book tool. The standards-based grading (SBG) is rooted in aligning student feedback and progress measurement against the particular skills being taught and assessed, rather than using a single score to cover multiple topics or standards.

In July 2020, ConexED had updated its iOS App 2.2.3 for a more user-friendly experience. This app enables students, staff, and faculty to join virtual meetings and video conferences on their mobile devices.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which sector led the academic software market?

    Increase in adoption of modern technologies and rapid shift from traditional teaching methodologies to modern teaching techniques are influencing the adoption of academic software solutions across colleges and universities across the globe. Additionally, software packages taken by universities and colleges for a large number of users are also cost efficient for both the institutions and the students. In the private sector, for instance, many software packages that a student wants are very expensive. This is why VIVES University of Applied Sciences has developed a partnership to deliver academic solutions with Signpost. Bulk transaction or software license transactions would substantially lower the cost of all their students' required application. A standard software package is compiled by VIVES on Signpost's Academic Software platform, which consists of hundreds of software titles that must be purchased by any VIVES student as a compulsory learning material, regardless of the education or training process. The same can be installed and used on personal laptops and desktops of students. Thus, increasing initiatives by colleges and universities to install bulk academic solutions for students are contributing to the academic software market growth across the globe.

    Which region held the largest share in 2019 of the academic software market?

    The software industry is growing at a fast pace in the region as it attracts various technological developments. The US federal government spends ~US$ 79 billion every year on the development of primary and secondary education programs. In addition, the trend of privatizing schools in the US is prevailing which is another aspect that would help in boosting the scope of integrating advanced software in schools. In the 21st century, the education sector is experiencing numerous efforts to privatize educational services which were provided by public agencies & school systems. Privatization is expected to transform the method of running schools and will open up opportunities for integrating new software and technologies to manage operations in educational institutes efficiently.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that gives computers the ability, in the same way as humans, to communicate with people, understand events, and learn and react to events.
