Illuminate Education, a provider of K-12 software and services completed the merger with IO Education, an education technology firm. Financial terms were not disclosed. By bringing together the best of what each formerly independent company offered into an open and interoperable environment, the newly formed Illuminate Education will support teachers, inform instruction, engage parents, and enhance individualized student achievement. “We’re going to deliver what educators and teachers ask for and students need – truly adaptive assessments, data, and analytics that inform instruction, and linkages to curriculum and third-party resources in a single interoperable environment wherein choice and opportunity become nearly unlimited. The combined companies’ expansive capabilities will save teachers time, serve each student’s unique needs, and drive student achievement. Teachers and students will get what they need most – more time on the right task,” Christine Willig, Illuminate Education CEO.
