MONTREAL and MADRID, Spain, Sept. 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EXO U, a software provider focused on simplifying the management and use of technologies in the classroom, and groupVision, a consulting firm that creates and implements collaborative learning environments, today announced a strategic reseller partnership.
Educational institutions are deeply committed to arming students with the tools needed to succeed in today's digital world. Technology is often seen as a panacea, but also creates a whole new set of challenges. Schools find themselves stuck with incompatible technology, large costs to manage, and difficulty deploying digital content. Teachers find themselves using outdated materials and competing for their students' attention, unable to unleash the potential of these advances.
Under this partnership, groupVision will offer EXO U's software to its growing customer base throughout Spain, the UK, Portugal, and Switzerland. Together the companies will help educational institutions effectively manage their technology assets and enable educators to successfully harness the full potential of new digital devices and media within their classrooms.
"We are excited to partner with groupVision," said Shan Ahdoot, chief executive officer and co-founder at EXO U. "groupVision has a long history of success in enabling schools with technology and best practices. We look forward to working together to provide today's students access to a higher quality education."
"Parents have high expectations when it comes to teaching standards, teacher evaluation, and curricula assessment," said Paul Nunesdea, chief executive officer at groupVision. "With EXO U and our groupware-based solutions, educators have a foundation upon which they can build interactive classrooms, maximize their lessons' effectiveness, and obtain better student performance, regardless of the device being used. With our collaborative learning solutions we can satisfy every student's education needs."
