Created by mobile engagement platform developer, EXO U Inc.
("EXO U") (TSXV: EXO), Ormi (meaning "momentum" in
Greek) was engineered from day one with the natural classroom
experience in mind – to minimize steps and eliminate
common interruptions, preserving the teacher's focus and
flow, so students stay engaged. With beautifully simple content
sharing and collaboration capabilities, Ormi quickens
BYOD integration into instruction.
Device Management, Sharing & Ease of Use
- Share to individuals, groups, display or the entire class.
- Installs and works on any device in less than 2 minutes – and
you only need install it once.
- Most tasks are just a few taps, reducing interruptions and
distractions.
- Collaborate through group messaging and sharing to personalize
instruction.
- Works with or without internet and does not require upgrades to
existing connectivity.
- Student devices remain tethered upon entry to the class – no
need to reconnect and lose time at the start of every lesson or
day.
Classroom Management With Easy Instructional Tools, Optimized
for BYOD
- Create new lessons or send existing instructional materials
from any device, to any device.
- Build or incorporate existing polls, lessons and quizzes.
- Class management and teaching context engines distribute
content to the right place, at the right page or point, every
time.

Other Launch Activities
- On Wednesday, EXO U kicked off "BYOD Listening Day" to kick off
a three-week digital event, intended to capture live input from
across the global education spectrum. Moderated by Ken Royal, educators were invited to join in the
conversation and share ideas to define, improve, and capture
scalable practices. Journalists can catch up on what educators from
over 20 countries had to say, or, join the conversation.

- EXO U also participated in BETT's Secondary Learn & Live
Leadership Panel, moderated by Kevin
Hogan from Tech&Learning Magazine and Terry Freedman, and hosted customers and
partners at the follow-up reception co-hosted EXO U and
Techlearning.
EXO U CEO Kevin Pawsey stated,
"We've been hard at work, strengthening our education team, signing
up manufacturing and reseller partnerships, listening in to
educator feedback, and diligently testing the platform. We learned
a lot, that most teachers struggle with other BYOD solutions
because sharing is slow, classroom management tools distract from
the lesson, and technical issues drive up costs and
complexity. Ormi solves these problems, and many more. Through
distribution agreements with Panasonic, QOMO, and others soon to be
announced, thousands of teachers will begin the fall term with Ormi
already installed in their classrooms."
