World Bank data on the gross enrolment ratio in tertiary education provides one useful comparison metric of what is happening on the macro scale. To be clear, this is not just measuring Higher Education, which the UK tends to score fairly well on, but all forms of education after higher secondary (defined as ISCED levels 5-8). More...
However, it is vital that the mental health and wellbeing of staff working in higher education is not forgotten and is given equal attention. Whenever HEPI surveys students on their mental health and wellbeing, we are often asked whether we hold similar data on staff. Now there is an initiative to collect exactly that kind of data. More...
Studies have found that, on average, three children in every classroom are dyslexic which causes them to struggle with literacy. This equates to around 1.2 million children that find reading and writing in lessons a challenge. More...
By Michael Feldstein. One piece of news we never circled back to after the crush of LMS conference season updates was the ending of the Blackboard's membership in the Moodle Partner program. To recap, Moodle Pty., the company that runs Moodle development and owns the Moodle trademark, suddenly announced right around BbWorld that it was ending Blackboard's membership in the Moodle Partner program.

By Michael Feldstein. A while back, I wrote a post about the four levels of Empirical Education. To recap, they are as follows:
This isn't just a taxonomy. More...
By Phil Hill. We have published market share data measured by total institutional enrollment instead of institutional count in several posts at e-Literate over the years, within the twice-annual reports of our LMS Market Analysis service, and for several of our premium subscribers of the same service. In July of this year we reported that Canvas had overtaken Blackboard as the market leader in US higher education in terms of institutional adoptions as well as scaled by enrollment. These last two posts got a fair amount of media and vendor attention. More...
By Phil Hill. It has now been four weeks since Chegg announced a data breach compromising personal information of up to 40 million users. Cue the crickets because the only coverage in ed tech press thus far is from EdWeek, which focuses on the K-12 market. That's a shame, because if ed tech companies want a case study to help understand the implications of FBI warnings or the European Union's new Global Data Privacy Regulations (GDPR), this example from Chegg should be illustrative. The same goes for institutions. More...
Dans le cadre de Le Mois du Film Documentaire 2018, Peuple et Culture Marseille et les cinémas Le GYPTIS et La Baleine Marseille s'associent pour vous proposer une programmation autour du cinéma de Nurith Aviv à Marseille.
Dans un contexte où le nombre de jeunes de 16 à 25 ans progresse et où le marché du travail reste incertain et tendu, l’accompagnement des jeunes, notamment les plus éloignés de l’emploi, reste un enjeu fort en région Pays de la Loire.
Les Missions Locales, acteur de l’accompagnement de ces jeunes, ont ainsi suivi plus de 49 000 jeunes en 2017.
Sur les quatre dernières années, ce chiffre ne cesse toutefois de baisser (- 16,2 %) jusqu’à la diminution observée entre 2016 et 2017 de l’ordre de - 6 %. Sur quatre ans, ce sont plus de 9 300 jeunes de moins accompagnés et principalement de niveau infra V voire V. La baisse modérée et récente du chômage des jeunes, bien qu’elle puisse fournir un élément d’explication, ne répond pas à tous les questionnements liés à cette tendance qui semble s’inscrire dans la durée.
