EdTech Connect Introduces AI-Powered Higher Education Technology Search Engine

On April 10, 2024, EdTech Connect announced the launch of a novel AI-powered search engine dedicated to higher education professionals. This "only-of-its-kind" platform provides essential data and insights on over 4,000 U.S. colleges and universities, along with information on more than 950 solution providers serving these institutions. The engine aims to simplify and inform technology purchase decisions within the higher education sector.

The newly introduced technology supports a detailed examination of each institution's digital infrastructure. It enables users to filter searches based on criteria such as student population size and institution type, offering a near real-time view of the technological landscape in higher education. The platform is celebrated for its user-friendly design, featuring an interactive map, predictive analytics, and customizable search parameters.

Jeff Dillon, founder of EdTech Connect, emphasized the platform's role in driving strategic decisions and enhancing educational experiences through advanced technology. The launch responds to the growing demand for online learning platforms, evidenced by a 30% increase in the past year. EdTech Connect encourages higher education professionals to join its community by signing up with a .edu email address, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among users.
