Buzz - Agilix Labs, Inc Buzz is the first truly scalable and sustainable personalized learning platform, for any subject and any school, grades K-12. We define personalized learning as: - Students are grouped by readiness not age - Students have personal learning plans - Students master content at their own pace - Students make instructional choices to create their own path - Students self-report interest, effort, and understanding - Students create a community of help and support - Teachers intervene based on productivity, progress, and self-assessment Unlike LMS’s that enforce lock-step learning or adaptive systems that are expensive and complex to manage, Buzz leverages an age-centric user-interface driven by performance data, teacher and peer feedback as well as student preferences to provide every student a personalized learning path. Students take control of their learning, progress is based on mastery of learning objectives and students are rewarded for productivity and helping peers. Teachers survey student productivity and progress through an innovative “radar” screen where with a few clicks they can discover and assign digital content, printed materials or tasks to individuals, groups, or the entire class. Buzz can transform entire schools - not just a few students - to a personalized learning model.

iCAN - Avant Assessment iCAN is a cloud-based tool that brings standards into the classroom to facilitate formative assessment and learning. iCAN supports teachers and students to seamlessly integrate student-created evidence with instruction and curriculum in a single, online portfolio. Architected for any set of standards or sets of performance criteria, iCAN is currently used by World Language and English Language Learners (ELL). Integration of Language and Common Core State Standards is a current initiative. Students demonstrate learning and competence by providing digital evidence of their skill in the target subject. Personalized learning pathways are developed through teacher-student collaboration. Continuous teacher feedback, along with parent review through a parent portal, creates a partnership that reinforces student responsibility for learning. --Students self-assess, set goals and respond to instruction through understandable, actionable learning objectives while building comprehensive digital portfolios (including text, audio and video) of evidence of competency. --Teachers communicate expectations, guide students with ongoing feedback, and continuously monitor and evaluate progress towards proficiency. --Parents participate in their student’s learning path with access to their student’s tasks and portfolios. iCAN currently includes ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines, Texas ELP Standards, Florida World Languages Standards and WIDA CAN DO Descriptors, with more to come.

ChienseCUBES (AR) - ChineseCUBES ChineseCUBES breaks through the limitations of traditional Chinese language learning materials by implementing a "Character - Phrase - Sentence" methodology. Instead of learning Chinese as if it were a phonetic language, ChineseCUBES teaches the learner the Chinese characters authentically, one character at a time. As the learner masters more characters, ChineseCUBES allows the learner to combine these characters to form new meaningful phrases and sentences. This methodology was made possible by ingeniously implementing the Augmented Reality (AR) technology. By turning each abstract character into tactile cubes, AR technology makes each character cube seemingly come to life on the computer screen. The software teaches how to read, write, speak and use each character. Learners can then arrange and play with the cubes in an interactive manner that allows them to naturally grasp the Chinese grammar and language in a game-like fashion.

SRA Reading Laboratory 2.0 - The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. SRA Reading Laboratory™ is one of the most widely used and recognized educational programs in the United States. Created in 1950 by Don Parker, Ph.D., Reading Labs became one of the earliest examples of differentiated learning experiences in the classroom. Faced with the challenge of reaching different levels of learners, Parker devised a method of breaking reading selections into color-coded levels to enable a single teacher to manage individualized reading instruction for an entire classroom. Today the simple system remains, but has been updated to include engaging, contemporary literature, new technology, and a host of components that enhance the program’s proven foundation. SRA Reading Laboratory™ 2.0 retains the time-tested format, but the content is presented in a dynamic, digital format that includes multimedia content to build background, social collaboration, and tools for creating content. This product will appeal to teachers looking for a digital alternative to the traditional leveled libraries, but has 21st century learning at its core through adaptive placement, tablet compatibility, and purposeful social networking. All of this in a program that values choice, self-management, and engagement for students, and provides a platform for teachers to serve as coaches and mentors throughout the learning experience.
