European LMS Market

Learning Management Systems
Historical LMS Market Share - LisTedTECH

The Spring 2016 LMS Market Report from our partners at e-Literate focused mostly on the United States and Canada. We, at ListEdTech, now have data from more than 1,600 higher education institutions throughout Europe and are happy to share e-Literate’s first market analysis for this region. While this report and future analysis will be part of the LMS subscription service, we are sharing the initial version freely with a CC-BY license. Below you can see the European historical market share since 2000. This view shows that despite Moodle’s overall lead in percentage of institutions adopting, there appears to be a plateau with no apparent market growth over the past few years. In addition, the second largest LMS solution, Blackboard Learn, is showing a clear decline in market share as is WebCT, which Blackboard purchased in 2004. The most obvious system gaining market share, just as in the US/Canadian market, is Canvas by Instructure.

There’s a lot more data and analysis available. You can download the FREE report here.

Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?

This year, I’ve been revisiting some of the classic business books: Blue Ocean Shift, Free, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Zero to One, and of course, Crossing the Chasm. That last one really got me thinking about early adopters. In tech markets, they’re the people (or in HigherEd, the institutions) who are comfortable taking risks, trying something new, and shaping the market ... Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?  Read More

Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus

September 2025 marked a major turning point for Anthology, the owner of Blackboard and several other higher education technology platforms. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. after efforts to sell itself or parts of its business outside of court failed. The filing is not a liquidation. Instead, it is a structured reorganization designed to ... Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus  Read More

Market saturation is a concept we often discuss at ListEdTech because it comes up frequently with our clients. Investors want to know if a market still has room to grow, while startups want to understand whether they are entering a space with opportunities or one that is already crowded. Last year, we explored saturation by ... Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech  Read More
