Global Higher Education Active Learning Platform Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global higher education active learning platform market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global higher education active learning platform market will grow impressively during the next four years and will post a CAGR of more than 29% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the adoption of active learning strategies in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The introduction of innovative teaching pedagogies resulted in a major paradigm shift in the delivery of education. Educational institutions have started focusing on adopting effective learning strategies to enhance STEM education. Active learning allows teachers to have access to tools, which help create inquiry-based learning interfaces and assist students in enhancing their inquiry skills and enabling them to leverage the knowledge base. Additionally, active learning also faciltates instructors to change language settings, incorporate concept mappers, and operationalize theoretical concepts, which will drive its adoption among schools and colleges.

The emergence of flipped classrooms will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the next few years. Emerging as a form of blended learning, flipped classrooms incorporate both face-to-face and web-based learning techniques. This method provides an initial exposure to learning content such as presentations, readings, and instructional videos outside the classroom and allows students to discuss, practice, and work on application exercises at classrooms, which is highly beneficial for international students who are not fluent in the primary language used in classrooms. Since flipped learning allows educational institutions allow a level of differentiation and personalized learning in their lectures, there will be an exponential increase in their adoption during the predicted period.
