The Importance of Communication
in Virtual Learning Environments

75% of school districts have students currently enrolled in fully online or
blended courses.
And this trend continues to grow. Over the past three years, the number of
students engaged in online courses has increased by over 45%.
Source: The Sloan Consortium

As the online learning phenomenon has grown, concerns about appropriate and
effective teaching practices in this environment have increased accordingly. Research
shows the positive correlation that effective communication has on student
achievement. So in an environment where educators, parents, and students have
limited face-to-face contact, apprehension is expected.
EdisonLearning® eSchoolware Instructional Tools enable robust communication
between students, parents and teachers and administrators.

“We stand out from other schools because of our EdisonLearning school design; our outstanding curriculum,
the opportunity to work together as a staff to meet common goals and because of monthly Benchmarks which
provide regular, real-time assessments of student performance allowing us to adjust and inform instruction for
each individual child… Without these tools and this structure we wouldn’t be able to perform at the level we’re
performing right now.”
- Lorna James-Cervantes, Principal
Park-Edison Elementary, Las Vegas NV

for online courses; EdisonLearning’s eCourses are centered around those two ideals and
provide a product that is interactive, easy to navigate, and still holds the students to high
levels of learning..”
- Andrew Maoury, Upper School Academy Director
Renaissance Academy, Phoenixville PA

“EdisonLearning’s high expectations for student learning, relentless commitment to building
local capacity for improving classroom instruction, and the outstanding customer service
provided by both the Hawaii-based and Headquarters teams continue to exceed
