  1. Technology is game-changing because it levels the playing field and has the potential to break down barriers of inequity, providing access to the best teachers and the best learning experiences. Sari Factor, E2020 CEO

  2. Its products focus on so-called credit recovery, the fastest-growing segment of the online education sector. The credit recovery market serves students who have fallen behind and need to take additional courses to graduate. New York Times, July 11, 2011

  3. Washington Post, April 21, 2012

  4. It is a win-win: The student gets credit, the corporation makes money, the school raises its graduation rate, the city leaders celebrate, and the media reports the good news. And the graduation rate means nothing, and the students get an empty "education.” Diane Ravitch, June 12, 2012

  5. Online credit recovery accounts for about half of all instruction in the $2 billion online-education industry. Washington Post, April 21, 2012

  6. There is no federal definition of credit recovery. • Credit recovery programs may be administered at the school, district, or state level as wholly online, blended, or traditional courses. • There is no research proving the effectiveness of online credit recovery programs. • Most online credit recovery programs are proficiency based. Center for Public Education, 2012
