The merger will enhance core services and further solidify their position as a leading partner for learning design and curriculum development services. "Over the past several months, it became abundantly clear that we are mission aligned with complementary services," said Ease Learning's Laurie Pulido. "Separately, we were headed in the same direction; together we will go further, faster."

Ease Learning is a leading provider of learning experience design programs with an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and skills-based learning. The company has developed engaging online curriculum experiences for over 20 years for leading colleges and universities across the USA. Additionally, the Ease Learning Help Desk delivers access to quality LMS support to better enable learning and instruction by augmenting staffing for resource-constrained institutions.

This move increases the company's capabilities for all customers in the education, corporate, and publishing sectors. "Our organizations have been working on parallel tracks to address the urgent need for skills-based learning," said Freedom Learning Group CEO Michele Baird. "While Ease has deep relationships with leading university partners, Freedom Learning Group has strong ties with industry leaders in workforce development. Together, we will provide scale and innovation to our partners."
