T.H.E. Journal is reporting on the Scientific Learning Corp. donating content to FreeReading.net. The content comes from the company’s Fast ForWord and ReadingAssistant programs, which are designed to help children read efficiently. From the article:
Said SLC CEO Andy Myers, “We as a company really believe in the open source content approach. Scientific Learning feels that the open source content offers a distinct advantage to a traditional textbook. [The programs] can be updated regularly and can be produced and distributed at little or no cost.” This, he added, “frees up resources for schools and districts to use on proven technology and methods such as brain fitness, which is the ability to improve brain processing efficiency, to ‘open’ the brain to be more receptive to learning.”
