Apereo Foundation
Overview
The Apereo Foundation, established in 2013 and based in the United States, operates within the education sector, specifically focusing on colleges, universities, and education management. With a modest employee size of 11 to 50, the foundation emphasizes the role of open-source software in higher education. Its recent publication, the "2024 Open Source for Higher Education Report," discusses the transformative potential of open-source technologies in addressing the challenges faced by the education industry, which is projected to grow significantly in the coming years. The report highlights the critical need for educational institutions to understand and leverage open-source solutions, particularly in light of increasing government regulations and the evolving landscape of educational technology. It notes that while open-source software is prevalent in various sectors, its adoption in higher education remains limited, suggesting a gap in research and application. The foundation advocates for collaboration and customization through open-source initiatives, aiming to enhance access to quality education for a growing number of learners.
