market analysis

On EdTech Newsletter — Phil Hill & Associates

Market analysis of education technology and the higher-education business: online program managers, learning platforms, enrollment trends, microcredentials, and the labor-market outcomes of degrees. Written by Phil Hill, a long-standing independent analyst of the sector.

Why I recommend it: Freemium: a good share of posts are free to read and there is a paid tier for the deeper market analysis. Useful if you are weighing whether a bootcamp, online degree or microcredential is worth the money — this is one of the few places that reports on the finances behind those programs rather than their marketing.

Why I recommend it: The research pages are free to read, though HolonIQ sells paid intelligence products — treat the reports as vendor research and check who funded any figure you plan to quote.
