FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 BrainHoney, not LMS, powers progressive online high school

Orem, UT, May 30, 2009 — The innovative American Academy Online High School (TAAS) announced the selection of Agilix’s BrainHoney – an innovative alternative to a learning management system (LMS) – as their core learning application.

BrainHoney provides individualized learning and ongoing standards-aligned formative assessment for classroom, hybrid, and online students. Teachers and administrators efficiently and effectively track individual student progress. The innovative design incorporates a gradebook, content, assessments, state-standards, and assignments with tools that make it easy to teach students across multiple sections, each working at their own pace.

“BrainHoney is great!”, said Rebekah Richards, SVP of Academic Affairs and Principal of TAAS. “My teachers – who have previously used all major LMS systems – can’t thank me enough for making the switch to BrainHoney. It saves them time, effort, and they are much more organized.”

Not only are her teachers pleased that they have tools to make their job easier and more effective, Ms. Richards also has a much better grasp of the day-to-day status of her students and teachers: “Best of all, I get the data I need to make sure my school stays on course. We can now truly deliver our school-as-a-service model as efficiently and effectively as possible.”

As a modular system, BrainHoney fit in easily with the TAAS enterprise technology. Built on web-services technology, “BrainHoney is an open, extensible platform with complete API access. Integration with our student records systems has been easy and straightforward.” said Gregg Rosann, CTO of TAAS.

“We are thrilled to have such an innovative group like the American Academy as one of our partners” said Mark Luetzelschwab, SVP of Agilix. “They have a great, easy-to-implement student-centered solution that serves both individuals needing a degree and high schools who need to supplement their offerings with online courses.”
