Agilix Enhances Mobile Learning Solution with Blackboard Backpack Version 3.1
Agilix Labs, Inc., a worldwide leader in e-learning solutions, today released Blackboard Backpack® version 3.1 to its partner Blackboard Inc. This enhanced version of the Agilix and Blackboard-developed distributed learning application synchronizes with the Blackboard Academic Suite® and provides support for the 2004 Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) version. SCORM represents a collection of standards adapted from multiple sources for the interoperability, accessibility and reusability of digital learning materials. In addition, Blackboard Backpack 3.1 enables educational institutions, military organizations and students to access and interact with SCORM content offline.
"In an increasingly-connected world, it's important not to lose sight of learners and institutions that can't remain online 100 percent of the time," said Curt Allen, president and CEO of Agilix. "Both the Blackboard Backpack and GoCourse™ solutions support mobilized learners who often require access in remote locations, harsh conditions or with limited connectivity options. We're committed to delivering content to all of our customers -- from learners in the military to high school students around the world -- in an accessible format when and where they need it."
Although Blackboard Academic Suite has supported SCORM content in the past, Blackboard Backpack version 3.1 is one of the first distributed learning solutions to incorporate a SCORM player that enables offline access. The solution is ideal for institutions with reduced bandwidth and limited network connectivity that need content access in remote locations, such as military personnel when on field operations.
