New name and tagline align with commitment to using technology innovation to
serve all learners and educators.
DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kurzweil Educational Systems(R) , a
division of Cambium Learning(R) Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABCD), announced today
that it will rebrand itself to reflect its continuing investment in state of
the art innovative literacy software for all students. As Kurzweil
Education(TM), the company will not only provide assistive technology
solutions, but support all learners in their journey to gain academic
success. The rebranding includes a new name, tagline, logo, and a tighter
product portfolio through the recent divestment of the IntelliTools product
line. The new company name combined with the new tagline, "Unlocking
Potential," is indicative of Kurzweil Education's forward-thinking to help
open the doors to learning, build students'
confidence, and boost academic achievement using technology-based tools.
"Our mission has always been to provide tools and resources that allow all
learners to engage actively in authentic learning experiences in the ways
that work best for them," said John Campbell, CEO of Cambium Learning Group.
"We continually hear from educators, students, and parents about the
life-altering experience our products provide. This name change reflects our
philosophy that anyone can succeed, whether they're a student in primary,
secondary, or postsecondary studies, or an adult in the workplace. Our tools
enable real learning to happen and help unlock each learner's unique
potential."
Kurzweil Education's flagship product, Kurzweil 3000(R) -firefly(R) , is an
award-winning reading, writing, and study skills software that enables
struggling students, including those with learning differences such as
dyslexia and English language learners, to read, understand, and demonstrate
their knowledge. Kurzweil 3000-firefly helps learners meet rigorous
standards and transforms struggle into success. Anchored in the principles
of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Kurzweil 3000-firefly is an easy,
proven solution that ensures instruction and learning become personal--and
meaningful progress becomes possible.
Kurzweil 1000(TM) , the company's product for the blind or visually
impaired, is award-winning software that provides accessibility to print or
electronic text. The software incorporates text-to-speech technology
combined with communication and productivity tools to ease and enhance the
reading, writing, and learning experience. Online books, magazines,
dictionaries, and encyclopedias become available to empower all readers to
pursue their interests.
