Instructure Lands A Hefty $30M To Take On The Blackboards And Moodles In A Multi-Billion Dollar eLearning Market
The Learning Management System market is a wild and wooly place, relatively speaking, of course. "LMSes," as they are known, are software applications and platforms that allow educational institutions and businesses to deliver courses, training, content and manage really every part of the learning process. Over time, the market has bifurcated, with one half catering to corporate clients with online training software and continuing education services, with the other targeting those institutions of higher book larnin' and such.On the education side, the market has traditionally been dominated by players like Blackboard, Moodle, Pearson and Sakai. If you graduated from college (or grad school) in the last 10 to 15 years, chances are you used one of these platforms, or some awful hybrid, proprietary system or combination thereof. The incumbents in this space, broadly speaking, have suffered from embattled relationships with their users, and have seen lagging growth as a result.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/v7C0gxB5n9A/
