OREM, Utah, Aug. 18 -- Agilix Labs, Inc., a leading developer of mobilized software, today announced its GoMobile Tour will visit 25 leading universities to promote mobile eLearning software to students, educators, and university administrators. Agilix, in conjunction with Intel, Microsoft, HP, and Blackboard, will provide hands-on demonstrations of GoBinder and Mobilizer at campus bookstores. Additionally, educators and administration will participate in executive briefings from Intel and Agilix to gain insight into how extending existing course management systems with mobilized software will improve student learning while providing the university with new funding opportunities.
"Today, most colleges and universities promote electronic distribution of assignments and lecture materials through learning management systems," says Curt Allen, President and CEO of Agilix. "The student, however, continues to print paper from digital systems and uses old-fashioned binders to manage, store, and organize their learning material. GoBinder is the digital three-ring binder that helps students manage electronic course materials in the classroom, dorm room, or off-campus location. Our customers believe this is a breakthrough for learning, and we want to take the message to students, instructors, and administrators on campus."

GoMobile Tour Details

The GoMobile Tour will include two different on-campus activities: hands-on bookstore demonstrations and executive briefings.

Bookstore Demonstrations

The bookstore demonstrations provide students with an experiential learning opportunity to see GoBinder software in action. Students will see how GoBinder extends their campus systems and allows them to replace their inefficient three-ring paper binders with a digital learning application.

While GoBinder works on any Windows XP-based computer, GoBinder will be demonstrated on Tablet PCs that provide digital ink, wireless access, and the ultra mobility preferred by students. In previous bookstore visits, over 90 percent of the students who tried Tablet PCs said they would consider a Tablet for their next computer purchase.

"With the latest release of GoBinder, Agilix has created a pen-perfect product that highlights the unique benefits of the Tablet PC," said Andrew Dixon, Director of Marketing of the Tablet PC team at Microsoft. "GoBinder showcases many new enhancements Microsoft has included in the latest Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005."

Executive Briefings

The executive briefings will be hosted by Agilix and tour co-sponsors Intel, Microsoft, HP, and Blackboard. The briefings will highlight how mobilized software extends web-based systems into mobile-use environments.

"The education community is increasingly using mobile applications and devices to develop new methods to interact with and disseminate information to students," said Chris Thomas, said Chris Thomas, Chief Strategist for Intel's Solutions Market Development Group. "We're investing in companies like Agilix that play a key role in developing and delivering mobile software and applications that enable new ways for people to use powerful new features in their Intel® Centrino(TM) mobile technology-based laptops and Tablet PC platforms and Intel processor-based handheld devices."

As part of the GoMobile Tour, Agilix is providing educators with a complimentary copy of GoBinder. Instructors should visit www.gobinder.com/teacher/ to request their copy before October 31, 2004. Additionally, Agilix is extending a one-year, campus-wide license to GoBinder and Mobilizer for $10,000 to the first 100 participating universities, a considerable savings over the $49.95 retail price for each user. For future years, Agilix offers two pricing models to match the needs of the university. The first model includes revenue sharing, where the university becomes an Agilix Affiliate and receives a percentage of all GoBinder sales made on campus. The second model offers a campus-wide site license with pricing based on the size of the student body.
