MONTREAL, May 11, 2016 /CNW/ - EXO U Inc. ("EXO
U" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: EXO),
today announced launch dates and activities for Ormiboard, its new
Whiteboarding software for K-12 classrooms and professional
learning environments with interactive displays. Ormiboard will
aslo be made available inside of EXO U's flagship teaching
platform, Ormi.
Ormiboard captures a set of key features in Ormi, EXO U's Mobile
engagement platform, and reintegrates them into a powerful software
that runs online or via installed download. Recognizing that
millions of classrooms are shifting from Interactive Whiteboards to
Interactive (often multitouch) Displays, Ormiboard enables
educators to work with what they have, using classic tools or leap
into Ormiboard's interactive games and activity-building
functions.
Ormiboard further enables Whole Class Teaching through the use
of pre-built games and activities, easily synced with Google
Classroom, DropBox, Evernote, and other common teacher-used cloud
services. Ormiboard easily connects Interactive Displays with
student devices without requiring any downloads. This enables easy
sharing, group editing, rapid quizzing and ping-pong collaboration
capabilities in seconds with any internet connected device (PIN
registration).
Launch Activities
- EXO U will host an industry-focused launch concurrent with
Infocomm 2016, June 4 –
10th in Las Vegas.
InfoComm is the USA's premier
launch and demo event for the A/V and presentation technology
marketplace. Demonstrations will be provided on the show floor and
EXO U's senior management team will be on site to conduct direct
meetings with potential distributors for Ormi and Ormiboard.
- EXO U will make Ormiboard available for purchase at the ISTE
Conference, June 26-29, 2016 in Denver, Colorado. ISTE is the USA's largest conference for K-12 educational
technology. Ormiboard will presented as both a stand-alone solution
and with Ormi, with partner launch events, media previews and
demonstrations on the tradeshow floor. Specific times and locations
will be announced in June.
Kevin Pawsey, CEO of EXO U
stated, "During our discussions with potential partners in the
marketplace, it became obvious that a simplified subset of the Ormi
platform was getting people excited and was aligned with
their existing customer needs. As a result, we used our internal
resources to create Ormiboard. Ormiboard will continue to be an
integral part of Ormi, and Ormiboard customers will be given easy
and incentivized upgrade paths to Ormi over time. This
multi-pronged approach, along with our summer launch of Ormi U,
broadens EXO U's target market for its Ormi platform products by
more than double our previous reach. We are working hard to get
Ormiboard in front of as many potential partners as possible before
and after InfoComm 2016."
