EdisonLearning's Online Learning Solutions Offer School Districts Broader Curricula and Flexibility
NEW YORK , Aug. 4 -- An increasing number of schools are turning to online learning solutions to meet student needs: 75 percent of school districts have students currently enrolled in fully online or blended courses. The number of students engaged in online courses has increased by more than 45 percent in the last three years.
With nearly 20 years of expertise in providing educational reform solutions, EdisonLearning is the nation's leading public school innovator and partner for school districts and charter schools. Students in states like Pennsylvania are benefiting from EdisonLearning's eCourses, which provide more access to a broader base of coursework. The Pennsylvania courses are offered through a unique partnership with the Capital Area Intermediate Unit (CAIU) that serves 19 school districts in the state. These online courses also are a perfect fit for students needing intervention and extra support, and often can be funded through state and federal grants. In addition, several EdisonLearning partners are considering online options as a solution to budget constraints and a way to reduce transportation costs. All EdisonLearning's online school solutions are based on best practices and allow personalization and differentiation.
Holly Brzycki, supervisor of online learning with the Capital Area Intermediate Unit, said, "Our districts love the opportunity for customization and the flexible options available. They can do what works best for each student and each school, and rely on the support of CAIU and EdisonLearning to make their program a success. Of the providers I have worked with in the past, none have offered that kind of flexibility."
