Austin, TX, Jan. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) \u2014\u00a0At BETT Show 2020 this week, Lightspeed Systems<\/a> (\u201cLightspeed\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d), a leading ed-tech solutions provider, announced key enhancements to Lightspeed Alert\u2122<\/a>, which is a next generation feature of the Company\u2019s platform, furthering the Company\u2019s mission to better protect K-12 students.<\/p>\n

Originally released in August 2019,\u00a0Lightspeed Alert\u00a0uses advanced AI to identify students whose web activity, including web searches, email, content within online documents and other activities, indicates they are at risk of self-harm or other dangers. Concerning activity triggers a real-time alert to a school\u2019s designated contacts so they can quickly intervene, all reported and captured within Lightspeed Filter for investigation, resolution and trend reporting. For schools increasingly concerned about student violence and self-harm, Lightspeed has expanded the Lightspeed Alert feature to also monitor for new categories of activity such as violence, cyberbullying and advanced attempts to bypass content filtering. In addition, Lightspeed Alert now provides support for multiple operating systems across Mac and Windows devices as well as Chromebooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our founding, it has been our mission to enhance student safety and maximize the benefits of education technology,\u201d shares Brian Thomas, President and CEO of Lightspeed Systems. \u201cAs the importance of protecting, managing and analyzing student health and safety increases, we are committed to continuously innovating and improving our sophisticated, K-12-specific solutions. With the updates we have made to further differentiate Lightspeed Alert and expand the capabilities of our offering across even more devices, we can help our customers enhance student safety and use technology to safeguard learning environments and protect and save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

A survey of customers with early access to Lightspeed Alert revealed that more than 80% of included schools identified at-risk students through the feature. Today, schools using Lightspeed Filter\u2122<\/a> with Lightspeed Alert continue to see benefits of the feature and have been able to identify concerns and intervene to proactively address issues.<\/p>\n

Nicole Allien, Instructional Technologist at Caddo Parish Schools in [Shreveport, Louisiana], commented, \u201cLightspeed Alert has been an asset to our district. It has alerted us to issues we didn\u2019t know our students had and has made a difference in those students\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lightspeed platform is a complete solution to filter, manage, monitor, protect, and analyze online activity in schools. Lightspeed Alert is included at no additional cost with the Lightspeed\u00a0Filter.<\/p>\n
