Primary Research Group Inc. has published the Survey of Higher Education
Use of Course Authoring Applications, ISBN 978-157440-690-0



This report looks closely at the kinds of programs and applications being
used in higher education for course authoring and development.  The study
provides use data for many specific applications such as Camtasia,
Articulate, Captivate, Lectora and many others, as well as course
management systems such as Blackboard.  Survey participants comment on how
urgent their need is for course authoring expertise, how much time they
spend using such programs, which programs they use the most, and what their
needs are in this increasingly critical area. They also comment on who in
their institutions makes use of course authoring applications most often.
Survey participants also discuss their use of open access applications in
this area.



Just a few of this 65-page report’s many findings are that:



The need for course authoring application skills was greatest among
librarians.



10.71% of respondents said that use of Articulate Storyline was frequent at
their institution and for another 21.43%, it was occasional.



A plurality of 35.71% felt open access course authoring programs were of
much lower quality than commercially available applications while 21.43%
felt that they were of higher quality.





Data in the report is broken out separately for faculty (predominantly
department chairs), librarians/ed technologists and instructional
designers. It is also broken out by type, size and tuition level of the
participating colleges and universities, among other variables.  The survey
was conducted from July 13th to August 18th, 2021.
