Indigo™ Learning System handhelds bring learning and assessment to the student masses

Pembroke Pines, Fla. - Mar. 22, 2006 - LearningSoft, LLC is partnering with Zipit, LLC to use its Zipit™ Wireless Messenger device as a platform for the Indigo Learning System, a handheld computing system that delivers fluid assessment and powerful student computing to the K-12 classroom.

"We partnered with Zipit because they combine world-class engineering with mass-market consumer production savvy," said David Cole, CEO of LearningSoft. "We needed a powerful handheld device, with wireless networking, that is sturdy enough for students and inexpensive for schools. The Zipit device is transformed by our customized classroom network operating environment and student user interface into a robust student computer."

Teachers can quickly create assessments with content directly correlated to their state standards and send them wirelessly to the class. Students use their hand-held devices to complete assessments, participate in digital polls, view teacher distributed web sites, read e-books, compose text, and for other activities. The results are instantly returned to the teacher's computer where they can be viewed as formative assessments, graded summative assessments and/or projections of state test performance. Teachers can also exchange messages with their students and distribute electronic content such as graded assessments.

"LearningSoft has developed a system that uses our technology to improve the classroom experience - for both teachers and students, which is something we are proud to be a part of," said Frank Greer, president of Zipit, LLC. "We also look forward to working with LearningSoft and third party developers of educational content to develop additional applications for our platform. We expect this relationship to be fruitful for years to come."

Currently part of a large-scale pilot project in Hawaii, the Indigo Learning System handheld devices will officially debut at FETC 2006 on March 22-24, 2006 in Orlando, Florida. LearningSoft will make available a Software Development Kit (SDK) for interested third party developers.
