Case Study: Major League Baseball combats summer learning loss with ELB Learning's gamified refresher program

Major League Baseball reaches 140,000 students with ELB Learning

The customer, Major League Baseball, partnered with vendor ELB Learning to combat summer learning loss in math and English for 4th and 5th grade students. This challenge resulted in a significant achievement gap between students of different socioeconomic statuses and required teachers to spend time reteaching material at the start of the school year.

ELB Learning developed an 18-week, baseball-themed gamified program that unlocked new content regularly. The solution consisted of 36 series of short, digestible games covering key math and literacy topics, which allowed for easy progress tracking. Since its launch in 2017, this ELB Learning program has reached over 140,000 students across the U.S. and Canada and won a Serious Play Awards Silver Medal.
