ScholarCentric sought out Clarity Innovations for its hybrid expertise in technology and education. Now in the second year of close collaboration, Clarity Innovations is working with ScholarCentric on implementing its Small Business Innovation Research grant from the U.S. Department of Education to study different models of online content delivery for the SuccessHighways curriculum.
