It is clear from the various district initiatives for EdTech and the adoption of piloting "tablet programs" that technology is becoming increasingly pervasive in education's present and future. This is also the reason why the investments in EdTech are showing no signs of slowing down. On the other hand, the CIOs in the education sector are facing mounting pressure to deliver and account for better learning outcomes, adopt digital disruption, and replace the aging and ineffective infrastructure with modern mobile, cloud-based EdTech solutions. To leverage on such an opportunity, both new and established players have flooded the education technology market, making it one of the most dynamic segments in high-tech arena. Colleges and universities are spending billions on technology and services to support various processes such as faculty management and administration, recruit, enroll, engage, instruct, and more. Some of the technological disruptions ruling the roost in education landscape include adaptive learning platforms, retention solutions, online courses, crowd-sourcing applications, big data platforms, Education ERPs and more. The market is vast and at the same time confusing, and the education CIOs are perplexed with ever-growing number of categories and are struggling with how best to evaluate them. Our goal with this special edition on education tech is to make the education technology market more understandable, evaluate the strengths of technology and service offerings that meet the specific institutional and learner needs. In this scenario, our editorial team has evaluated several of education technology solution providers to present you the 50 Most Promising Education Tech Solution Providers. This special edition blends thought-leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.
