Case Studies

University of Montana

86% of the participants raised their placement exam score and avoided remediation.

12 hours was the median amount of time participants used EdReady.

92% of EdReady completers passed their first college math course, Average Grade = B-

Case Studies

University of Montana

This single cohort of about 50 students saved ~ $39,000 in tuition and fees that they would have spent on developmental classes.

EdReady is now reaching over 10,000 students across the state of Montana, growing by hundreds of students per week.

Case Studies

Washington Foundation Gifts Statewide College Readiness System

MISSOULA – Fully 28 percent of students arrive on Montana college campuses needing remedial courses. In response, the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation has made a $2.4 million gift to the Montana Digital Academy at the University of Montana to launch a statewide project designed to help students avoid remedial coursework when they attend college.During the next three years, the Montana Digital Academy will test EdReady, a curriculum from the National Repository of Online Courses that was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Washington Foundation gift will allow Montana students to be the first in the nation to use the curriculum statewide. It is intended to help students boost their scores on commonly used placement exams so they can begin their post-secondary education without remedial help.
