Sapling Learning Records 450% Increase in Student Users

Online, December 20, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Sapling Learning today announced that it has more than 155,000 registered student users, a 450% increase over 2010.

Sapling Learning offers the most effective interactive homework and instruction that improves student performance for the problem-solving disciplines. With the richest suite of interactive learning tools available for higher education and high school sciences, Sapling Learning distinguishes itself as a leading provider of online homework and assessment products for chemistry, physics, biology, engineering and economics. Customers identify the product's ease of use, targeted instructional content in an interactive learning environment, and unsurpassed service and support delivered by teaching colleagues like themselves as the reasons they choose Sapling Learning over other options available in the educational software space.

Over 1,000 professors in 275 universities and colleges in the US and Canada have adopted Sapling Learning for chemistry and physics courses in just two years, attributing to the strong number of higher education students using Sapling. In August, Sapling Learning's Texas High School Science Programs for Biology, Chemistry, IPC, and Physics were approved by the Texas State Board of Education and listed as supplemental instructional materials available for Texas' schools. Since then, Sapling Learning sold more than 46,000 units of TEA-approved projects in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and IPC representing over 500 teachers in 35 districts. Additionally, Sapling Learning delivered 3,000+ units of free AP (Chemistry and Physics B) to over 60 teachers.

"We're thrilled at how rapidly Sapling Learning continues to grow in popularity. Our continued growth demonstrates the value of our online homework and instruction tools," said James Caras, Ph.D., CEO, Sapling Learning. "Professors, teachers and students have embraced our products in numbers that surpass anything we imagined."

Sapling Learning's products also save valuable time for teachers. Sapling Learning automatically grades questions, so instructors can confidently assign visually rich and interactive problems that are prohibitively time-consuming to grade if assigned as traditional "pencil and paper" homework. The live gradebook tracks aggregate classroom and individual student performance and comprehension. Sapling Learning also provides valuable diagnostic statistics and reports that enable instructors to adapt their lesson plans and remediate according to each student's learning path.

Continued Caras, "Most importantly, our products work. The efficacy of using Sapling Learning has been tested at several major universities with outstanding results. We are certain we will find excellent results on the high school level, as well."
