Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: “The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is surge in assessments through social media platforms. The education system is massively evolving with respect to the embedding technology in various aspects of education. The integration of social media in classroom learning is yet another recent trend observed. The social networking platform is not just used for enhancing participation of students in learning through informal ways, but now it has become a part of formative assessment.”

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is growing focus on CBE. According to the traditional learning environment, the performance assessment of students depends on the credit hours allotted to each course. The hours allotted are structured, and upon successful completion of the tasks, students are conferred with respective grades for the courses. However, competency-based education (CBE) reverses the entire process and focuses on the learning outcome, where the learning hours are not fixed.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is proper utilization of assessment tools. The assessment tools provided by the vendors are deployed by the majority of the institutions to automate and replace their traditional assessment methods through an online platform. The adoption of e-learning has triggered their interests in implementing online tools for evaluating student performance and learning patterns. As the market for these tools is expanding, more advanced features have been incorporated such as personalized learning. Most of the users do not have adequate knowledge of using these systems to their full potential for the benefit of educational institutions. Thus, educational institutions are not able to achieve their goals for which they have deployed tools.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
