eLearning for K-12

Internet-delivered instruction has been steadily growing over the last decade, and more than 25% of U.S. states and Canadian provinces have now implemented or are in the process of implementing virtual school and eLearning initiatives. Enrollment numbers are rising rapidly and to date, 23 states manage their own virtual schools. Adobe eLearning solutions are at the heart of many of these initiatives and can provide the essential tools to offer positive and engaging eLearning experiences to students, teachers, and administrators alike.

An alternative to traditional teaching and learning, Adobe eLearning solutions give educators powerful applications that can assist in the creation and development of online content, courses, and virtual learning environments; allow for assessment, tracking, and reporting of student progress; and can extend the capabilities of existing LMS applications such as Blackboard.
