The awards demonstrate IXL and Rosetta Stone for School’s commitment to offering innovative and effective educational products.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence have honored IXL and Rosetta Stone for Schools as the “Best Tools for Back to School.” IXL, the personalized learning platform used by 16 million students, won awards in the primary and secondary education categories. Rosetta Stone, the world’s leading language learning brand, was honored for its impact in secondary education. Judged by a panel of industry experts, the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2024 showcase the most outstanding products that offer schools effective and versatile solutions to enhance teaching and learning.

IXL: The acclaimed all-in-one personalized learning solution:
With limited instruction time and larger classes, teachers need resources to personalize learning quickly. IXL’s robust and comprehensive solution does the work of multiple edtech products, making everything from daily instruction to long-term progress monitoring easier for districts. More than 17,000 PK-12 skills—the core of IXL’s universe—interconnect, support and build on each other to meet any learning need. As students practice on the platform, questions adjust in difficulty based on students’ responses to ensure they are perfectly challenged and working towards the proper goals. IXL then uses insights from their work to create personalized recommendations that guide learners to skills that will help them progress.

Teachers rely on the IXL Assessment Suite, and its two state-of-the-art diagnostic assessments, to easily measure and analyze student progress. The IXL LevelUp™ Benchmark Assessment for PK-8 Math is built using cutting-edge psychometric principles and meets the highest validity, accuracy and reliability standards. With it, districts can efficiently administer benchmark exams, identify students for intervention and inform district-wide decision making—without waiting for official state testing results. The IXL Diagnostic for PK-12 Math and ELA is nationally normed, and has been established through validity research as a precise indicator of student achievement and a strong predictor of performance on standardized assessments. It offers a non-traditional assessment experience that engages students and doesn’t feel like a typical test. Both assessments seamlessly integrate into IXL’s comprehensive platform, provide students with an immediate, personalized action plan and are flexibly used in both benchmarking and real-time modes.

Additionally, IXL’s robust Analytics suite provides teachers and administrators with key insights to better understand how students have performed on skills. Teachers can use this data to identify trouble spots, pinpoint specific ways to help their students with their skills and track progress over time.

Rosetta Stone for Schools: Empowering students to speak new languages with confidence:
Communicating in multiple languages is an invaluable skill that can shape a learner’s future. Yet, it can be challenging for schools to provide language instruction that is personalized, supports varying abilities and fosters engaging learning environments. Rosetta Stone for Schools’ powerful, comprehensive K-12 solution helps students build the fluency and confidence to speak new languages with ease.

Rosetta Stone’s structured immersion method mirrors how our brains first acquire language, introducing learners to concepts through real-world images and audio from native speakers. Without instructions or translations, students learn through context and reasoning, deepening their understanding of the target language. Developing speaking skills is also central to Rosetta Stone’s approach. TruAccent, the platform’s speech recognition technology, uses data from millions of native speakers to evaluate pronunciation in real-time and refine pronunciation. This immediate, personalized feedback helps learners build conversational fluency and confidence. TruAccent is also one of the only speech engines offering targeted support for children’s voices, ensuring that all students have the chance to grow.

Rosetta Stone for Schools also equips teachers with the tools they need to help students overcome language barriers and achieve fluency. Teachers receive detailed reports that provide insight into student progress and help identify knowledge gaps. From there, educators can build personalized curricula to target students’ specific learning needs and guide them towards the right activities that will help build confidence and competence.

“We are committed to providing innovative products and solutions that will create a better learning experience for educators and students alike,” said Paul Mishkin, CEO of IXL Learning. “Tech & Learning’s recognition is an honor, and we look forward to offering more thoughtful and creative ways to improve educational outcomes.”

Elementix and Lightning Docs Announce Reporting Partnership to Deliver Industry-Comprehensive Data on Business-Purpose Lending

Published

October 27, 2026

By

Each company’s monthly report will draw on shared recorded transaction data and loan-level document data, giving lenders, brokers, and investors a more complete view of current bridge, fix-and-flip, construction, and DSCR lending.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elementix, a leading provider of aggregated data on business-purpose lending, and Lightning Docs, the premier loan document automation platform for private lenders, Non-QM lenders, credit unions, and law firms, today announced a data-sharing partnership to strengthen reporting on the business-purpose lending market.

The partnership brings together two complementary datasets. Elementix aggregates recorded real estate transactions nationwide, including mortgages, deeds, satisfactions, assignments, and preforeclosure filings, providing a comprehensive picture of lender activity, loan volume, and market share. Lightning Docs captures loan-level terms at the point of document generation, including interest rates, loan amounts, and loan structures, from a document automation platform used by 60% of the nation’s top 50 private lenders. Combined, the two sources produce a level of coverage and detail that has been unprecedented in the private lending space.

“Private lending has long been an opaque industry, with limited data on interest rates, loan amounts, geographic trends, and other metrics that are vital to running a profitable operation,” said Nema Daghbandan, CEO of Lightning Docs. “Lightning Docs set the standard for monthly private lending market reporting, and this partnership raises it. By pairing our loan-level data with Elementix’s transaction data, we are delivering reporting with the scale, precision, and depth the market has been missing, and providing lenders, brokers, and investors a clearer view of the industry than they have ever had before.”

Each report, delivered at a regular monthly cadence, will cover bridge, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction, and DSCR loans, with aggregated data on interest rates, loan amounts, loan volume, lender activity, geographic trends at the state and regional level. All data will be aggregated and anonymized, with no borrower- or lender-specific loan terms disclosed.

“Managing risk in private lending starts with understanding the borrower and the broader market, yet lenders often have to make decisions with incomplete information. Elementix was built to help lenders understand that risk through public record data, and partnering with Lightning Docs adds the loan-level detail that completes the picture. Together, we’re helping lenders better understand market conditions and bring that context into how they assess and manage risk,” said Cameron Kelliher, founder and CEO of Elementix.

The first joint report is scheduled for release in November 2026. Reports will be published on the Lightning Docs and Elementix websites and distributed to subscribers of both companies.

About Elementix
Elementix is the borrower intelligence platform for private lenders. It helps lenders identify active investors, verify experience for better credit decisions, and reach decision-makers with leading contact data accuracy. For more information, visit www.elementix.com.

Initially developed by nationally recognized private lending attorneys, Lightning Docs is the industry’s leading automated loan document software for lenders who make business-purpose loans. The platform instantly produces attorney-grade, compliant loan documents across all 50 states. It covers every business-purpose loan type, including short-term bridge and fix-and-flip loans, 30-year DSCR rental loans, ground-up construction, and complex modifications.

Meet Providi: One Company Behind Cerbo and OptiMantra

Published

October 27, 2026

By

The new name reflects a long-term commitment to the cash-pay personalized care market, where Cerbo and OptiMantra keep their brands and together serve nearly 7,000 clinics.

ATLANTA, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Providi launched today as the corporate brand of the company behind Cerbo and OptiMantra, two long-standing products in the cash-pay personalized care market. The companies combined in 2025, backed by a growth investment from Mainsail Partners. Cerbo and OptiMantra will continue as product brands within Providi.

Together, the two providers of electronic health record (EHR) and practice management products support nearly 7,000 clinics. These include functional, integrative, longevity, wellness, direct primary care, concierge, med spa and behavioral health practices. Both have served the market since 2011.

The name Providi combines “provi,” for the provider at the center of every practice, with “vidi,” Latin for “I saw.” It stands for a company that starts with the provider and can see where personalized care is going.

Providi’s mission is to empower personalized care providers to deliver better patient outcomes and create thriving practices. That mission is already shaping the product roadmap. With the Cerbo and OptiMantra teams building together, new capabilities reach providers faster, and AI Scribe is the first example. Available now, Cerbo AI Scribe captures visit notes automatically, so providers spend less time charting between visits or after hours. OptiMantra AI Scribe, built on lessons from the Cerbo launch, is coming to OptiMantra providers soon.

“Personalized care providers built this market one practice at a time, each one designed around the time, attention and care they believe every patient deserves,” said Jeff Hindman, CEO of Providi. “Cerbo and OptiMantra have each earned the trust of thousands of practices, and Providi exists to amplify that work. Coming together as one company accelerates the innovation we can bring to market and enables us to invest more in both products. Our focus remains giving the providers already running our products and the new providers entering the market the technology they need to succeed.”

Providers can expect to log in to the same Cerbo and OptiMantra products, reach out to the same reps and receive support, onboarding and product updates the same way they do today. They will start to see the Providi name at combined events and in company communications, and they’ll feel it in their products: two teams sharing what they learn, active investment in both products and new capabilities reaching their practices sooner.
