AUSTIN, TEXAS (January 12, 2012) Sapling Learning, the leading provider of interactive homework and assessment software for the Higher Education and High School sciences, was honored with the 2012 eSchool Media Readers’ Choice Award for one of the best ed-tech products in the market today.

Nominated by the readers and visitors of eSchool News, eCampus News and eClassroom News, the eSchool Media Readers' Choice Awards recognizes the ed-tech products and services with which readers have enjoyed the most success.

Sapling Learning offers the most effective interactive homework and instruction that improves student performance for the problem-solving disciplines. Sapling Learning’s software includes rich, discipline-specific interactions far beyond simple multiple choice to enhance student problem-solving skills and comprehension. It is a powerful online learning system that advances student achievement while providing timely, accurate student and class performance information to the instructor. Sapling Learning can be accessed anytime through a Web browser, and provides students with real-time tutoring when they need help in the form of hints, feedback specific to a student’s incorrect answer, and detailed solutions.

"Professors, teachers and students have embraced our products in numbers that surpass anything we imagined," said James Caras, Ph.D., CEO, Sapling Learning. “Instructors continually tell us how much they enjoy our products’ ease of use, targeted instructional content in an interactive learning environment and unsurpassed service and support delivered by teaching colleagues like themselves.”

An independent online homework provider, Sapling Learning can collaborate with instructors to customize assignments to match their curriculum and textbooks.

Continued Caras, “Most importantly, our products work. The efficacy of using Sapling Learning has been tested at several major universities with outstanding results and improvement in grades.”

Over 1,000 professors in 275 universities and colleges in the U.S. and Canada have adopted Sapling Learning for chemistry and physics courses in just two years.

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.
