Opportunity to capitalize on growing market for mobile devices

Growth of for-profit and online learning institutions in the US
Advances in mobile technologies have created a shift from the traditional models of classroom settings. The older and rigid models of one-to-many classrooms have given flexible and personalized models of learning. Modern technology-based education caters to a diverse learner-base with varying skillsets.
Digital education publishers adjust their content and services to suit the needs of their educational target segment, which acts as a profitable differentiating factor against competitors. Publishers also include material to cater to regional consumers. Incorporation of niche subjects, superior customer service, and regional website language are other differentiating factors.
Investment in ICT in education sector
Advances in technology and increased broadband network along with schemes like BYOD have brought about a change in the education paradigm with the implementation of innovative learning methods such as flipped classrooms, blended learning, simulations, experiential, and inquiry-based learning. Educational institutions are also increasingly incorporating hardware like interactive whiteboards and interactive tables along with software for assessment, content creation, learning management, and student information systems.
More innovative pedagogical learning methods, comprising active learning strategies and competency-based education models, are implemented in the education sector in the US. Thus, the demand for digital education content in the form of e-books and e-textbooks will gain traction. This will gain further momentum with an increase in investment on ICT hardware and software solutions.
