Declaration of COI and question about requesting edits

 

Hello, I have extensive edits I'd like to request for this page which include adding citations and updating product and history information. I am an employee of Apex Learning. What is the best way to do this: post below what essentially is a rewrite? Or indicate line-by-line requested edits?

Thanks in advance for guidance,

Good on you to declare your COI. With factual updates and references, just add those. With other changes, I'd make them incrementally as opposed to a whole rewrite. And avoid adspeak and puffery terms, those will get reverted immediately. Good luck! Transmissionelement (talk) 16:54, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Requested edits for lead

Additional information and citations added. Since Apex's course offerings have expanded beyond what's listed and the company also has a supplemental curriculum (not just courses), it may make sense to remove the phrase starting "offering online courses...".

  • Revise first line: Apex Learning, Inc. is a privately held provider of digital curriculum for grades 6-12 headquartered in Seattle, WA.

If digital curriculum is deemed a buzzword perhaps online learning products would work? I see that solutions has been flagged as a buzzword.

  • Revise second line: The company also has an accredited online high school, Apex Learning Virtual School.[1]
  • Add third line: Apex Learning is accredited by AdvancED[2], approved by the College Board[3] for Advanced Placement courses, and its courses are approved for National Collegiate Athletic Association eligibility.[4]

The NCAA source is the most recent I can find. This is a third-party site that mentions NCAA approval, if that's a better source.
