+What is Kolibri?
+----------------
+
+Kolibri is an adaptable measured learning environment. A user can install Kolibri and serve the app on a local network,
+without an internet connection. Kolibri installations can be linked to one another, so that user data and content can
+be shared. Users can create content for Kolibri and share it when there is network access to another Kolibri
+installation or the internet.
+
+At its core, Kolibri is about serving educational content. A typical user (called a Learner) will log in to Kolibri
+to consume educational content (videos, documents, other multimedia) and test their understanding of the content by
+completing exercises and quizzes, with immediate feedback. A user’s activity will be tracked to offer individualized
+insight (like “next lesson” recommendations), and to allow user data to be synced across different installations --
+thus a Kolibri learner can use his or her credentials on any linked Kolibri installation, for instance on different
+devices at a school.
