AbleNet Inc. Announces the Release of Classroom Suite 5

AbleNet Inc. announces the release of Classroom Suite 5, a software solution of pre-made accessible educational activities for practicing essential skills and a set of powerful creativity tools that enable teachers to create their own accessible activities for students with disabilities.

St. Paul, MN – MAY 20, 2015 – AbleNet Inc., a world leader in assistive technology, curriculum, and services for persons with disabilities, announces today the release of Classroom Suite 5. For years, Classroom Suite has been an essential learning tool to help students with disabilities Pre-K to 5th grade achieve success in reading, writing, and mathematics in a highly accessible platform. In April 2014, AbleNet acquired the IntelliTools products with the goal to provide these trusted and proven products to educators for years to come. The release of Classroom Suite 5 marks the beginning of a continued development effort by AbleNet.

Educators using Classroom Suite have an amazing set of pre-made accessible educational activities for practicing essential skills learned in core curriculum; and for those educators who want to make their own custom activities there is a powerful set of creativity tools available within the software. Classroom Suite 5, part of the Classroom Suite Achievement package, includes a completely updated user interface along with several important bug fixes that improve new user installations and the overall stability of the software. For students requiring alternative methods of access to Classroom Suite 5, the IntelliKeys USB keyboard or IntelliSwitch are two excellent options for access. Current users of Classroom Suite StandAlone 4 or newer, or users of Classroom Suite Network with Web 4.3 or newer are eligible to upgrade to Classroom Suite 5 for free. Current users of older versions of Classroom Suite are eligible to upgrade at a discounted rate. To upgrade to Classroom Suite 5, visit https://www.ablenetinc.com/resources/classroom-suite-5-up....

“It has been several years since the last update to Classroom Suite and we are truly excited to see this set of updates become available to all of the existing Classroom Suite users,” said Adam Wing, Vice President of Global Business. “Just over a year ago AbleNet acquired Classroom Suite from Cambium Learning Group, Inc. and since day one we’ve been talking to current users of the software and looking at ways to improve upon this already tremendous educational tool. As we move forward, AbleNet will continue to listen to customer feedback and continue development efforts to improve and enhance Classroom Suite.”

In addition to the launch of Classroom Suite 5, the Classroom Suite Activity Exchange (AEX) website has been revamped.  On the AEX you will find thousands of free activities created by other users of Classroom Suite, or you can share Classroom Suite activities that you have created. In addition, a new Classroom Suite developer blog is available on the AEX.
