A Report on the Effect of Discovery Education streaming
Through rigorous, independent scientific evaluation, Discovery Education streaming is the only
educational digital video-based learning resource that has been shown to increase student achievement.
Two random-assignment, control group studies—conducted in rural Virginia in 2002 and urban Los
Angeles, California in 2004—showed significant improvement in Social Studies, Science, and Math
performance for students exposed to video content from DE
streaming over those students not exposed
to the content.

These evaluations have caught the attention of policymakers across the nation. Discovery Education executives have been
invited to present the results to the United States House of Representatives’ Committee on Education and the Workforce, at
United States Department of Education Technology Summits, and at various state and national education technology
conferences around the country.
