OREM, Utah, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilix Labs, Inc. ("Agilix") is announcing the availability of free one-year Buzz LMS license and support agreements to all other schools located in school districts with at least one school currently using the Echo platform from New Tech Network (NTN).

Agilix Labs, Inc. and New Tech Network have been partners since 2016 when a customized version of Buzz was utilized to create the Echo LMS, a learning platform offered to all schools and districts who are members of the New Tech Network of elementary, middle, and high schools in the United States. Echo has enabled hundreds of schools to implement NTN's school model with fidelity and efficacy.

The Agilix Buzz LMS and the Echo instance are flexible platforms that support a wide variety of learning models, pedagogies, and curricula. In addition to supporting project-based learning, Buzz is also compatible with traditional classroom instruction, blended learning, competency / mastery-based learning, virtual learning, and other models.

By providing Buzz for free to all the other schools in school districts using Echo for PBL, Agilix hopes to provide school districts with a unified learning platform that supports all district learning models through a single platform. Current Echo users will continue to work within the Echo platform.

Buzz provides the flexibility for administrators and teachers to mix and match learning modalities that are ideal for each of their student populations – while simplifying and streamlining district-wide teacher professional development, coaching and support, and system administration, management, and reporting.

Buzz can be configured, customized, and integrated to meet specific school district needs. In addition to built-in content authoring tools, Agilix also has many K-12 curriculum partners who provide online curriculum in the Buzz Platform. These partners include Accelerate Education, Bright Thinker, BYU-Independent Study, FlexPoint, Lincoln Learning, Pearson, and many others.

For those school districts who want to consider the ways Buzz can improve their instructional practices, this opportunity affords them a direct path to support improved student learning outcomes. Agilix and NTN will continue to work closely as this offer does not impact or change any aspect of how NTN utilizes Echo to support educators and students with implementing NTN's school model and the wide range of professional development, instructional coaching, and other professional services provided by NTN.

School district administrators who are interested in taking advantage of the free Buzz License agreement for the 2024-25 school year may visit Agilix.com/echo or contact Agiilx at sales@agilix.com.
