products drive our market:
Extensive in-house field-testing, qualitative studies, and
an exhaustive literature review conducted from 2015 to
2016 has confirmed that blended learning is the perfect
environment for facilitating the transfer of new learning
to K-12 classrooms through the provision of qualitative
feedback, full access to course resources, and
participation in discussion forums – all provided for in
the Literacy Solutions fleet of online courses. Also noted
were improvements in teachers’ perceptions about
overall ability and willingness to teach with a Common
Core-aligned curriculum (Ruckdeschel, 2017).
