It’s been a long time coming, but it seems like Blackboard may finally be on its way out as the primary learning management system (LMS) used by schools and universities. For years, Blackboard has been the go-to LMS for educational institutions, but its market share has been steadily declining in recent years.
There are a number of factors that have contributed to Blackboard’s decline, including the rise of more user-friendly and affordable alternatives such as Canvas and Schoology.
So, is Blackboard finally dying as an LMS? It’s hard to say for sure, but it seems like its days as the dominant player in the education market are numbered.
What is Blackboard’s current market share?
According to e-Literate, Blackboard currently has a 26% market share in the global LMS market. However, its market share has been steadily declining in recent years, and it is expected to continue to do so in the coming years.
What are some of the factors contributing to Blackboard’s decline?
There are a number of factors that have contributed to Blackboard’s decline, including the rise of more user-friendly and affordable alternatives such as Canvas and Schoology. But perhaps the biggest factor is simply that Blackboards’ LMS is somewhat outdated, and to be fair, somewhat universally hated by end users, including students and teaching staff.
What is the future of Blackboard?
It’s hard to say for sure what the future holds for Blackboard, but it seems unlikely that it will be able to maintain its current market share. With more and more schools and universities switching to alternative LMS options, it seems likely that Blackboard will continue to lose ground in the coming years.
So what’s the down-low of Blackboard LMS?
It’s been a long time coming, but it seems like Blackboard may finally be on its way out as the primary learning management system (LMS) used by schools and universities. For years, Blackboard has been the go-to LMS for educational institutions, but its market share has been steadily declining in recent years. While this view seems simplistic, it’s just a part of the EduTech landscape evolution. To compare: remember when Internet Explorer was the dominant web browser?
Well, those days have long gone. The technology landscape continues to shift and evolve, and Blackboard seems to have become a dinosaur in the cloud EduTech environment.
