Software & Information Industry Association
CS4Ed is working with the SIIA Education Market Section to conduct the first annual U.S. Education Technology Industry Market Watch: PreK–12 Survey. The purpose of the survey is to provide comprehensive, accurate supply–side data on the size of the education technology software, content and services market in the U.S. Analyses will predict industry trends within segments of the market. We expect 250 companies will participate.
National Education Association
Since the early 1990s, the NEA has been providing a product for the School Improvement Market, Keys to Excellence for Your Schools (KEYS). Recently, a major revision has been completed (KEYS 2.0) and the NEA wanted a comprehensive market research project focusing on the School Improvement Market - including an assessment by all stakeholders from the community, a unique profile that can be used for planning purposes, and professional development components designed to help schools move beyond the planning phase.
Consortium for School Networking
In cooperation with CoSN, CS4Ed is conducting a study of the effectiveness of technical standards for educational content and software. The study is collecting data to quantify the operational effectiveness and pragmatic benefits of formal interoperability standards such as SIF, IMS, SCORM and PESC and informal standards based on products or design requirements.
