The benchmarking study included interviews with more than 230 senior administrators, faculty, and students at 45 campuses across the country and a national web-based survey of faculty that generated almost 11,000 responses from faculty at 69 campuses. The benchmarking study is the largest study of this type regarding online learning yet conducted.

Three weeks ago I started this effort with a post in which I researched market leaders and confirmed that the ubiquitous SMART Board is the clear market leader (with about 50% market share). Of the many other manufacturers that split the rest of this large and growing market, Promethean is a name I’ve come across frequently. This week I experienced a demonstration of their ActivBoard and various related products that Promothean offers for the classroom.
