RESEARCH PROJECT LIVE NOW!

The state of WordPress in higher education

WPCampus and Human Made have joined forces to launch a new research project exploring the state of WordPress in higher education. And we need you!

With your help, we’ll be exploring:

Your priorities and challenges for the year ahead 

Sentiment regarding WordPress in higher ed in 2025 

What the future looks like for open source in universities

The changes you’d like to see in your teams and in the WordPress ecosystem

Why are we carrying out this research?

Despite being WordPress power-users, higher education doesn’t tend to take centre stage as often as it should in industry discussion. This project is designed to address this shortcoming.

By coming together and sharing our takes on a series of important issues relating to WordPress and digital technology in higher education, we’ll:

  • paint a detailed picture of how higher ed professionals are working with WordPress today
  • answer questions on the health of WordPress in the industry
  • explore the challenges and opportunities we’re all facing
  • deep dive on the ways our teams are set up
  • provide a space for reflection and sharing

We need you!

It’s only possible with your help. We need as many people working with WordPress in higher education as possible to complete the survey, so we can build an authoritative picture of the state of WordPress in higher education.

Complete the survey

It takes less than 15 minutes to complete the survey and become part of this important research.

The survey is live now, and will be open until May 23 2025.

In return for your valuable time, you’ll get:

  • An early look at the findings before the research is published
  • Exclusive access to attend the research findings launch event online on July 10 2025
  • A more valuable platform. Your insights will be used to help us keep driving the WordPress project forward, making it even more attuned to the needs of the higher ed community!
