Open Source in HigherEd Isn't Going Away

from ListEdTech's Podcast Hosted by ListEdTech

Is open source dead in the SaaS era, or is it secretly running your campus? In this episode, we dive into data from ListedTech showing that 72% of higher education institutions globally still rely on open-source solutions. We break down the shift from local installations to cloud-hosted managed services, where open and proprietary systems seamlessly coexist. Plus, we examine how the rise of AI, open-weight models, and intense budget pressures are fundamentally changing the strategic playbook for university CIOs. Tune in to discover why the future of EdTech isn't a binary choice, but a collaborative, ongoing evolution.
