Agilix Labs, Inc., a worldwide leader in e-learning solutions, today announced that its innovative e-learning application is now available through Epic Learning. The Epic Learning System, which is powered by Agilix’s GoCourse™ platform, was first unveiled at the National Educational Computing Conference in June, 2007.
"The ultimate goal for innovative e-learning applications is to reconnect students with school and learning," said Dr. Kim Davis, Assistant Principal, Naaman Forest High School. "Since this technology is more interactive than traditional methods of learning, students find learning more fun, which contributes to their success and increases the chances of an on time graduation."
The Epic Learning system integrates rigorous core curriculum and comprehensive assessment tools with GoCourse’s advanced electronic delivery system, ensuring high schools are able to meet all state and national standards. As part of the Epic Learning solution, students at participating schools receive a laptop pre-loaded with Agilix e-learning software and Epic Learning curriculum, so they can access lessons and complete assignments anytime and anywhere without an Internet connection. In addition, Agilix’s GoCourse Learning System enables Epic Learning to link baseline academic diagnostics to its ongoing progress monitoring system, enabling continuous curriculum improvement.
“We are excited with the great progress that Epic Learning is making in high schools,” said Curt Allen, President and CEO of Agilix. “The massive rollout that they are doing this fall demonstrates the effectiveness of the integrated Epic Learning solution, which includes our GoCourse platform. We believe this solution is poised to make an immediate impact in educational environments, extending the power of 1:1 computing initiatives and increasing college readiness in school districts around the country.”
Epic Learning piloted the solution in six high schools during the 2006-2007 school year, which demonstrated the power of the system. Now, Epic Learning is implementing its integrated e-learning solution in multiple school districts across 15 states during its first effective year.
The GoCourse Learning System is a next-generation learning improvement system with fundamental characteristics that differentiate it from traditional learning management systems. This includes the ability to:
* Enable institutions to measure student learning outcomes against learning objectives
* Provide teachers and advisors with student performance management tools to identify students who need additional assistance
* Provide more efficiency and functionality than web-based solutions
* Allow students and teachers/faculty to work offline
The solution is designed for performance-focused college, universities and school districts that are committed to enhancing student achievement and enabling teacher effectiveness. GoCourse empowers teachers to engage and excite students with an innovative and personalized approach to learning.
