With the help of BYOD, schools are encouraging their students to bring smart devices, such as laptops and tablets to school. This initiative is also encouraging students and teachers to use more educational applications on their mobile devices for improving learning processes," said Amit Sharma, one of Technavio's lead industry analysts for education and technology research. "Schools in the US are investing significantly towards their IT budgets for implementing cloud-based solutions. Cloud computing accounts for about 40% of the total IT budgets in US schools. Cloud computing solutions reduce IT costs in schools by providing flexible IT solutions. As a result, schools have been able to save between 21% and 26% of their overall IT costs. This trend is anticipated to significantly augment the K-12 IT infrastructure spending in the US over the next four years," added Amit. Some of the other driving forces behind the growth of the K-12 infrastructure spending market in the US are as follows:
Increasing demand for personalized learning solutions The US education system is shifting from traditional classroom settings to personalized digital classrooms where students can share information and knowledge with the help of technology. Students in the US are widely adopting e-learning systems by subscribing to online modules that make the curriculum available on the go. The demand for personalized learning is predicted to significantly boost investments in advanced computer systems and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure over the next four years. To capitalize on the attractive market, Lenovo has launched PCs that can be integrated easily with the ICT infrastructure of schools in the US. Similarly, Blackboard (News - Alert) has introduced a virtual classroom solution known as Blackboard Collaborate that enables two-way communication, mobility for students, and seamless accessibility to personalized learning. With the growing popularity of personalized learning, the K-12 infrastructure in the US will also likely to witness a big boost in government support over the next four years. Increasing number of digital schools in US According to a survey conducted by the Center for Digital Education in the US, the number of schools adopting digital technologies is growing exponentially. Schools are adopting initiatives such as the one-to-one laptop facility and flipped classroom instructions. District administration is also taking initiatives to digitize the primary education system to connect student, faculty, and parents and provide a digital learning environment. The one-to-one laptop initiative has granted students access to use many educational application software. Digitization is also predicted to help educators gain real-time insights into student performances with the use of digital and online dashboards. Over the forecast period, many schools will introduce K-12 students to advanced technologies such as drones, robotics, and 3D printers as a part of the ongoing digitization process. Upsurge of MOOCs in K-12 education Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are different from classroom learning, as students can gain access to educational resources across the world by connecting online with experts online. MOOCs in K-12 provides hybrid education through a combination of technology and classroom teaching methodology with the help of numerous learning programs. MOOCs in the US for K-12 are provided by prestigious institutions, such as MIT (News - Alert) and Harvard. As the trend suggests, many other prominent institutions in the US are anticipated to dispense education through online platforms for primary and high schools. Such initiatives will further encourage students to enroll for online courses from prestigious institutions with the help of MOOCs during the forecast period. Browse related reports:
