Recession Impact: Learning Management System Market

The War in Ukraine, higher inflation, bad financial conditions, economic decelerations of key trading partners, and social discontent is slowing the growth prospects. The war in Ukraine is shaking the global economy and raising uncertainty about the outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean. The impact is felt in Latin America through higher inflation that is affecting real incomes, especially for the most vulnerable. The policymakers are reacting to this difficulty by tightening the monetary policy and implementing measures to soften the blow on the most susceptible and contain the risks of social unrest. As per The Harris Poll, 62% of Canadian organizations are confident that they can survive the upcoming recession. This is because many large capital projects were delayed due to the pandemic that have secured funding and will proceed as planned, even if there is a slowdown. Despite the uncertainty, some industry researchers and individual companies continue to forecast growth. For instance, Capgemini boosted its revenue growth objective for 2022 to 14% to 15% versus its previous forecast of 8% to 10%. Higher global and domestic financing costs can accelerate capital outflows and represent a challenge for the region, given large public and external financing needs in some countries and the limited resources to finance investments in the region. Even before the war, various regions’ recovery from the pandemic was losing momentum. After a sharp rebound last year, growth is returning to its pre-pandemic trend rate as policies shift, slowing to 2.5% for 2022. Exports and investment are resuming their role as main growth drivers, but central banks have had to tighten the monetary policy to combat an increase in inflation. As per the IMF, Gulf countries have strengthened their reform programs, which has supported increasing their sources of revenues and will assist them in facing the global recession. As per the report by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the UAE GDP is to grow by 5.4% and 4.2% in 2022 and 2023. This growth will be driven by higher oil production, with the growth of the manufacturing sector by 2031. Specifically, in the education industry, the threat of recession is resulting in a hike in tuition fees due to this student loan debt piling up. Even if colleges or universities have chosen not to increase fees, the qualitative costs of higher education will still be higher. The spiking inflation may lead to employers lowering salaries or reducing their staff nationwide. Students depending on their parents to repay loans or fund their education may struggle due to income cuts.

Other technologies. The technologies such as AI, data analysis, helps user to provide tailored courses for them to provide a personalized learning experience and also enable learners to acquire knowledge in the way that suits them best technologies help improve student performance, provide personalized programs, and reduce dropouts.
Challenges: Lack of LMS solutions with multi-language support
Language can be a barrier for students whose first language is not English. According to a study by Pearson in 2015, around 75% of the world’s population does not speak English at all. In cases such as this, LMS vendors need to provide multiple-language support for different regions. Limited vocabulary and language skills might become a hurdle for some students to  actively participate in class, socialize with peers, and learning to their full potential. Thus, LMS vendors need to overcome this challenge to help put students at ease and empower them to have an efficient learning experience.
