Pandemic Lessons in EdTech from MoodleMoot Global 2022
Author Phil Hill /0 Comments/by Phil HillIn late September I attended the MoodleMoot Global conference in Barcelona for market analysis research … and enjoying the first La Mercè Festival in three years. During the event I was interviewed by Abby Fry on the general topic of lessons for EdTech coming out of the pandemic. I have embedded the YouTube video as […]
About Those Uncounted Students
Author Phil Hill /3 Comments/by Phil HillI recently was interviewed by Scott Jeffe from Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL), a company that I believe is the preeminent enrollment management firm for US higher education, and Scott published two blog posts today based on our interactions. Beyond his work at RNL, I have known of Scott’s work for years, as he was the […]
OPM Market Forces: Lower revenue sharing and contract length
Author Phil Hill /0 Comments/by Phil HillIn multiple podcast interviews, interviews with GAO researchers and investors, blog posts, and keynotes, I have pushed back on the popular but flawed narrative that the Online Program Management (OPM) market is moving away from tuition revenue sharing to fee-for-service as the predominant business model. What I have argued instead is that: Market options are […]
Research Background Prior To Gates Foundation Response
Author Phil Hill /1 Comment/by Phil HillIn a recent post on the Gates Foundation-funded CourseGateway initiative, I challenged the claims that adoption of courseware is a key component of improving the performance of underrepresented student groups in gateway courses. Really? Back up that claim if you want us to believe that this initiative will produce any results. The Tyton report funded […]
Post-Conference LMS Market News
Author Phil Hill /1 Comment/by Phil HillEducause used to be THE EdTech conference, and the LMS market news tended to deliberately coincide with the fall event – with vendors releasing news that week. The conference competition has heated up and Educause is now one among several EdTech conferences, but it does tend to remain the premier event in North American higher […]
Now Chegg Might Have to Reckon for Data Breach
Author Phil Hill /1 Comment/by Phil HillIn 2018 at e-Literate, I covered a data breach by Chegg that impacted up to 40 million users. Yesterday the NY Times reported that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has jumped in with a legal complaint accusing Chegg of ‘careless’ data security practices that led to the breach. I’ll try my best to not make […]
NSC Enrollments At High End of Estimated Range
Author Phil Hill /by Phil HillLate last week the National Student Clearinghouse put out their initial current term enrollment reports for Fall 2022 in US higher education. The quick read is that overall enrollment across all sectors, for undergraduate and graduate levels combined, declined 1.1% from Fall 2021. As many news organizations have reported, that decline is not as steep […]
Talking OPM Market and Institution Strategy
Author Phil Hill /by Phil HillLast week I attended the WCET annual meeting in Denver – perhaps my favorite conference of the year in terms of quality of conversations and me staying through each session – and I thoroughly enjoyed the general session panel I was on, “Mad Max and OPMs: Changing Markets, Regulations, and Beyond.” The session played off […]
Digital Education Summit #DES22 Keynote
Author Phil Hill /by Phil HillIn late September I had the opportunity to provide the keynote for the Digital Education Summit #DES22 put on by Sam Houston State University Online. The 11th annual Digital Education Summit, a free, virtual, one-day teaching and learning event promoting best practices and methodologies for online educators in K-12 and higher education. Available on-demand until Friday, […]
Our Relevant History With The Gates Foundation
Author Phil Hill /by Phil HillI’ve been debating whether I should describe the MindWires history with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF, or just Gates Foundation) in more detail, given my recent coverage of two foundation-led initiatives. In a comment for the latter post, Jeff Alderson stated: “ MindWires used to be a grantee of the Gates Foundation from […]
CourseGateway: They knew the solution all along
Author Phil Hill /6 Comments/by Phil HillI have a feeling that a blog series is developing. Two weeks ago I wrote a post about “The Gates Foundation Messaging Machine,” where despite claims of following data, the reality of the research release was all about the messaging desired by the foundation. I asked: Wait – is this a research report trying to […]
