Kurzweil 3000-firefly surpasses one mn document downloads

NATICK, USA: In the past 365 days, students using Kurzweil 3000-firefly have demonstrated an overwhelming commitment to their education by downloading over 1 million digital documents from the program's cloud-based Universal Library.

This data was derived from reporting features in Kurzweil 3000-firefly that measure student logins and files accessed, which provide educators the ability to make informed decisions about a student's academic progress.

"One million digital documents is a substantial amount of content," said Alex Saltonstall, president of Kurzweil Educational Systems.

"This statistic indicates to us that students have made Kurzweil 3000-firefly a tool of choice to succeed in school, whether at the elementary, secondary, or postsecondary level. We're pleased to be an important part of the academic life of so many individuals and to have the opportunity to help them reach their potential," added Saltonstall.

Kurzweil 3000-firefly enables struggling students, including those with learning differences such as dyslexia and English language learners, to learn from the same content as their peers.

Anchored in the principles of Universal Design for Learning, it supports the complex tasks of developing fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, study skills, and strategies for test taking. Kurzweil 3000-firefly and the free companion iPad app provide access to any curriculum-anytime and anywhere.
