By using the y axis for two different purposes ($ and # deals) this graph seems to be saying that $500M is in some way parallel to, or equivalent to, 100 deals and that $100M is related to 20 deals. Is that a standard metric or proven relationship? That being said, all this graph shows, albeit misleadingly, is that the number of deals for the most part follows the dollars (or vice versa).
I would like to see this statistic broken down between “content delivery” and “content creation.” I think most of the investments have not been in digital learning content, but rather in learning management systems and social networks. It’s a misleading statistic.
