Agilix Labs Partners With SanDisk to Deliver Secure Mobile Learning Solution for Education18 October 2005
Agilix Labs, Inc., a worldwide
leader in mobile learning solutions, today announced that it is collaborating
with SanDisk(R) Corporation to deliver an integrated solution for education.
The solution will enable the distribution of copyrighted, electronic content
that is supported by Agilix GoBinder.
Agilix GoBinder is a mobile learning application that enables students to
take notes, capture, organize, search and share learning content and manage
their personal schedules and assignments. The integrated solution will use
SanDisk's recently introduced FlashCP(TM) technology that can securely, easily
and legally distribute copyrighted and educational material over the Internet
to USB drives.
Students using the integrated solution will be able to view, annotate and
search copyrighted, protected content within Agilix GoBinder, when used with a
SanDisk Cruzer(R) Freedom USB Flash Drive. The application will connect to a
SanDisk online catalog, from which licensed and free content can be readily
downloaded.
"Educators are always looking for ways to increase students' opportunities
to learn regardless of time and place," says Michael Petersen, Executive
Director of the Utah Education Network. "These tools are ideal because
students have more time to learn. College and K-12 students will go from
class to class and to home with their application, learning content,
electronic textbooks and notes intact."
"Agilix is excited about the new partnership with SanDisk," said Curt
Allen, Agilix president and chief executive officer. "The combination
delivers a secure, protected solution to provide electronic content to
students. Students will get a solution that offers annotations, highlighting
and fast searching of the content, which could include electronic textbooks.
Whenever we have asked students if this would be interesting, we get an
overwhelming 'Yes' response."
"We are pleased to be partnering with Agilix Labs," said Dan Harkabi, vice
president of secure content solutions at SanDisk. "The combination of the
Cruzer Freedom's FlashCP technology and GoBinder opens the door for many
education institutions to affordably empower all students to carry their
personal and educational content anywhere they go."
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's
largest supplier of flash data storage card products using its patented,
high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered
in Sunnyvale, Calif., and has operations worldwide, with more than half its
sales outside the U.S.
