The Charleston (WV) Gazette (5/29, Harris) reports that according to a 2010 ED analysis, the Cognitive Tutor math software package "produced 'no discernible effects' on student achievement," noting that "West Virginia educators have paid millions of dollars" for the software from Carnegie Learning. "The report by the What Works Clearinghouse, a research arm of the Department of Education, analyzed four studies on Cognitive Tutor's effectiveness and found that the software had 'no discernible effects on mathematics achievement for high school students.'"
