Edplicity is an all-in-one solution for content storage and collaboration that provides teachers the ability to deliver instruction in an online format using the evidence-based reading programs Voyager Passport® and Passport Reading Journeys®. As an advanced cloud-based solution, this digital platform creates an interactive online learning community where teachers can assign student work, track participation and performance, provide targeted feedback, collaborate with other teachers and share best practices, all online and in real-time.

"Edplicity merges the best of publisher-created content with teacher-created materials to enhance the learning experience," says George Logue, president of Voyager/Sopris Learning. "This is the latest in a growing list of applications we are proud to offer our customers as part of our commitment to enhancing instruction and increasing student achievement in every classroom across the nation."
