Users can now gain daily access to courses that lead to tangible achievements, K-12/GED courses, college credit, vocational certificates, and inspire better outcomes. These opportunities, blended with our unique incentive system that uses entertainment as a motivator, has led to an industry leading 80%+ week to week user engagement, more than double the industry average.
