Inherent to the core of EdisonLearning’s business model is the Digital Learning Solutions, which include the following products and services.
EdisonLearning eCourses
EdisonLearning uses proven methodologies to deliver the most engaging and innovative online courses on the market. Each EdisonLearning eCourse was developed by highly qualified instructional designers and certified teachers utilizing best practices fostered over a decade of online learning experience and 20 years of experience driving achievement in brick-and-mortar schools. The full EdisonLearning eCourse catalog offers sixth- through twelfth-grade online courses in both core and elective subject areas that can be used for a full virtual, credit recovery, supplemental, or alternative education, or for enrichment programs. EdisonLearning eCourses for high school are available in multiple course types to meet the needs of each learner and program including:
- Foundation
- Competency Based
- Honors
- Credit Recovery
Each EdisonLearning eCourse is aligned to both national and Florida state standards and features learning objects in multiple means of representation and multiple modes of learning to meet the needs of each student. Students are presented course content through textual, interactive, and multimedia-rich learning activities and led through guided practice and formative assessments. EdisonLearning eCourses include both system-graded and teacher-graded assessments with a variety of technology-enhanced question types and activities at varying levels of rigor.
eSchoolware
EdisonLearning’s proprietary learning management system, eSchoolware, is an integrated software suite that serves as the foundation for a partner’s online learning program. Specifically, eSchoolware allows partners to:
- Track, monitor, and report on progress or performance
- Manage their online program including registration and scheduling
- Facilitate communication and sharing between users
The key components of eSchoolware include:
- System Portal: The portal is the user dashboard that centralizes all vital tools for students, teachers, parents, and administrators, allowing them easy access to everything they need from one convenient homepage.
- Information Management System: The web-based information system is designed expressly for the administration of enrollment, courses, content, students, and instructors in online and hybrid environments.
- Content Delivery Systems:
- Course Player is an engaging and interactive content delivery system used for the majority of our high school EdisonLearning eCourses. Course Player requires students to interact with content and assessments in a personalized forced progression of learning objects. Mastery settings ensure that a student has succeeded in meeting the objectives of a lesson before the next lesson is unlocked. Students are provided with additional learning objects when needed.
- MyDay is a content delivery system designed as the result of targeted research with middle school students. As with Course Player, students are provided with a personalized forced progression of learning objects through their daily task lists. Mastery settings are available at an institution and student level to ensure that students have demonstrated success with the objectives of each lesson before moving to the next lesson. Students are assessed regularly through a variety of games and traditional summative assessments.
- Traditional View is a simplified user interface that allows students to guide themselves through lesson content and assignments. Any EdisonLearning eCourse can be delivered in this view. A performance alert system is available to indicate when academic interventions are needed based on lesson and cumulative assessments.
Instructional Support Services
The Edison certified teacher serves as an online teacher for the asynchronous curriculum. The online teacher is responsible for providing students with quality feedback on all non-system-graded assignments. Teachers also provide supplemental support through a synchronous instructional platform.
Edison certified teachers are required to respond to students, families, administrators, and members of the student support team (e.g., case managers, advisors, and counselors) in a timely manner. Teachers are expected to consistently provide effective, student-focused feedback on all relevant assessment items. All teachers participate in extensive training and ongoing professional development in constructing and providing effective feedback. Feedback is subject-specific and crafted to guide and support students in learning and applying the skills and concepts provided in the Edison eCourse lessons. Teachers employ rubrics to score student essay submissions and lengthier, multistep assessments.
Edison teachers are fully compliant with all laws, policies, and procedures surrounding Special Education modifications and accommodations, confidentiality, and the process for recommending students for Special Education testing. When asked, teachers attend and contribute to IEP meetings and participate in professional development to learn how to best serve students with special needs. When appropriate, teachers and instructional teams modify coursework and provide alternative means of assessing standards and skills for Special Education students.
Advisement Services
Advisement services are available as an add-on to assist with programmatic student support. A student success coordinator (SSC) will serve as a student and family’s main point of contact while supporting the student’s academic and social-emotional needs. The responsibility of the SSC is to monitor student pacing, progress, performance, and attendance. They will communicate consistently with students, parents, and school staff via telephone conversations, email, and our internal messaging system. The SSC plays a crucial role in the student’s success, including examining and analyzing student needs from a cross-functional (academic and personal) perspective. The SSC is responsible for monitoring student performance across all subjects and is a key stakeholder in the overall academic support team along with the student’s teachers and local school staff. The SSC is a product expert and will support students in platform navigation and scheduling requests and collaborate with local school staff on the best course schedule and academic support settings for each student.

Contacting Teachers
Students are welcomed by their teachers immediately upon enrollment. Teachers send welcome messages through the eSchoolware Portal Messaging System and post Course Introduction Announcements including their course policies, contact information, office hours, biographical information, and expectations for themselves and their students. Edison Instructional Support teachers adhere to the following service-level agreements to ensure timely and effective communication and student support:
- Read and respond to all messages, forums, and academic interventions within 24 hours.
- Grade and provide effective feedback on all quizzes and exams within 48 hours.
- Grade and provide effective feedback on all writing assignments, speaking assignments, and projects within 72 hours.
Service-level agreement timeframes exclude holidays and weekends. Because students enrolled in Edison eCourses engage with the curriculum asynchronously, Edison teachers support students by engaging in regular communication through announcements, messages, and forums, offering synchronous personalized live instruction by request, and regularly monitoring student progress and performance.
Hours of Availability for Instructors
While hours for individual teachers may vary, the Instructional Support Staff is available Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30PM p.m. Eastern Time, Students can find a specific teacher’s phone number through the “Other Information” tab of their Student Portal in eSchoolware. Personalized Live Instruction is by appointment only. Students can either message, email, or call their teacher to set up a time to meet with his or her teacher. There is also a link to a form to request Personalized Live Instruction in the teacher’s email signature.

Six schools in Florida currently use EdisonLearning eCourses for their curriculum. The school names, locations, and charter-authorizing school districts are listed below. Each school is a part of the NorthStar Academy network of schools servicing drop out prevention, drop out recovery, and over age for grade enrollments from their corresponding school districts. This alternative learning academies provide students with a blended learning program which allows students to recover credit and accelerate credit attainment towards graduation in a flexible schedule combining a morning or afternoon session onsite with EdisonLearning eCourses for core, elective, and CTE courses. Students receive additional targeted support for core subject areas including direct instruction. On average, students enrolling in NSA schools are 2.5 years behind cohort.

Performance Accountability Information
Student and Course Performance Accountability Data
Performance information from statewide testing for virtual students is reported directly to the student’s Local Education Agency or home district and is not shared or reported to EdisonLearning as an online course vendor.
Educator Performance Accountability
All Florida-certified teachers are evaluated by the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model.
A major update took place in 2017, bringing forth the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model. This fine-tuned framework, developed in partnership with Dr. Robert J. Marzano, greatly simplifies evaluation and helps teachers develop their professional expertise over time. A concise set of 23 core teacher competencies:
- Emphasizes a competency-based approach to observation and scoring
- Increases fairness, accuracy of scoring, and inter-rater reliability
- Keeps the evaluative focus on standards-based instruction and teacher growth
- Provides specific desired effects, focusing on evidence of student learning
- Recommends practical, workable procedures for implementation and scoring

Growth Plan for Staff
Teachers and all staff members complete a Growth Plan once a year. The Director of Instruction and Advisement with the assistance of third-party contractors observe teachers and staff members monthly and conducts midyear and end-of-year evaluations. Student performance results are factored into each staff member’s evaluation.
