New whiteboarding software offers instant
sharing to any student device, classroom management, and advanced
interactivity building without an internet connection
MONTREAL, June 8, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - At InfoComm 2016, EXO
U Inc. ("EXO U" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: EXO), a software
development company, will launch Ormiboard Pro, a first-of-its-kind
front-of-class visual creation and collaboration tool. Ormiboard
Pro gives teachers and students the freedom to build lessons,
activities, and interactive games for use in any classroom that has
displays and/or mobile devices.
The device-agnostic Ormiboard Pro goes beyond presenting and
testing by opening up whole-class creation and participation. With
ping-pong sharing and group collaboration, Ormiboard Pro users
create sessions where everyone can watch and participate in the
lessons. In a classroom setting, teachers can select a screen from
a student device and share it on the front-of-class display.
Ormiboard Pro is designed for schools and districts and is
primarily offered through distribution channels. Ormiboard Pro is
an installed software with a perpetual license and enables complete
device integration and collaborative sharing over existing networks
via local WIFI (no internet access required). Ormiboard Pro is
optimized for fast speed and split-view capabilities for
multi-touch panels and tables, and gives administrators dashboard
control over building, classroom, teacher, user and content
grouping.
EXO U will also release its Ormiboard Go edition on June 26th at ISTE 2016 in Denver, Colorado. The Ormiboard Go edition is
designed for teachers and is accessed via web browser; enabling
students to easily connect and collaborate online. Ormiboard
Go is offered at a subscription rate of $89 per year and seamlessly integrates with
resources like Dropbox, Evernote, Google Classroom, Drive and other
cloud-based services. Ormiboard Pro users are provided with a
simple upgrade path.
"After launching Ormi, we gathered input from the marketplace
that consistently favored a few key aspects of the Ormi platform,"
said Kevin Pawsey, CEO of EXO U.
"This feedback from partners and educators alike enabled us to
build Ormiboard. It's the best of Ormi, with a simplified
experience for whole class teaching and collaboration and with
applications that extend well beyond the classroom into other
markets."
A limited evaluation trial is available at Ormiboard.com.
InfoComm participants can see Ormiboard in person by visiting EXO
U's partner booths C5834 and C6308, or by calling (866) 608-8751,
