AACRAO has partnered with ListEdTech to provide members with complimentary access to a data-driven platform that helps higher education professionals understand which technologies are being used across the sector, where adoption is growing, and how peers are approaching key systems and solutions. ListEdTech is an education market research firm that tracks education technology implementations and publishes insights based on verified market data.
AACRAO members can access ListEdTech at no cost through this partnership by using their institutional email to Sign-up or Sign-In.
If you have questions about access, account setup, or troubleshooting, please contact AACRAO Communications (communications@aacrao.org).
What is ListEdTech
ListEdTech is a database and research portal focused on education technology systems, products, and institutional adoption patterns. Its underlying data is built through a large-scale review of market signals and documentation, with entries validated to support reliability.
The ListEdTech portal provides visibility into technology usage across institutions and across categories, helping users understand adoption patterns and market movement.
What can you do with the platform?
Members can use ListEdTech to:
- See what peer institutions are using in specific product areas (and how that varies by institution type or size).
- Explore product categories and implementations across higher education, grounded in observed adoption rather than self-reported rankings.
- Track market trends and momentum through visual tools that emphasize transparent, data-based signals (for example, adoption and recent implementation momentum).
- Support internal planning and procurement conversations with the current market context (e.g., understanding how common certain systems are within higher education).
Why this benefits AACRAO members
AACRAO members routinely engage with technology decisions that sit at the intersection of policy, process, data stewardship, and student outcomes. Whether your role centers on admissions operations, records and academic services, transfer articulation, international credential evaluation, or enrollment management, technology choices are rarely “just IT” decisions. They shape how institutions:
- protect and manage identity and access,
- exchange and interpret academic records and data,
- operationalize policy consistently,
- maintain continuity during vendor transitions, and
- deliver equitable, student-centered services at scale.
ListEdTech is built to reduce reliance on informal word-of-mouth by offering sector-wide visibility into what is actually implemented, which can strengthen cross-campus communication and help frame conversations with procurement, IT, and senior leadership.
