RESEARCH STRATEGY
In order to determine the competitive landscape of Edgenuity and Khan Academy we conducted a thorough search of each companies website, press releases, and case studies. Through this search we found all the required information for each company. Through searching Khan Academy's website, we found that they partner with several companies to produce educational content, however, there is no record on their site, through publications, or case studies that provided any additional partnerships. Because the company provided a list of partners that did not include any curriculum distributors, nor is there any mention of additional partnerships through other sources, we concluded that the company does not have any of these partnerships.
