"As of 2012, Archipelago Learning ceased independent operations and through a merger was fused with PLATO Learning and Education Options to become Edmentum.[...] In 2000, Archipelago launched its flagship product, Study Island, which now serves grades K-12. In June 2010 Archipelago acquired the UK-based EducationCity.com, which offers an online curriculum and assessment for Pre-K through 6th grade in the UK and US. In August 2010, the company launched Reading Eggs, an online reading program for young children. (This is sold under a distribution agreement with Blake Publishing, which receives a 35% royalty on sales.) In June 2011, Archipelago acquired Alloy Multimedia, which publishes ESL ReadingSmart, an online standards-based program for ELL learners, grades 4-12. Archipelago offers postsecondary programs through its Northstar Learning line. Originally, the company began creating online test prep software for the state of Ohio but then grew to include a suite of programs addressing practice, instruction, remediation, and state-specific test prep."
