SANTA ROSA, Calif.,
April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Democrasoft, Inc., (OTC: Pinksheets: DEMO) today announced the
worldwide release and immediate availability of its Collaborize
Classroom PRO iPad app in Apple's App Store. This special
"optimized-for-iPad" app was designed to address the fast-growing
adoption of the iPad by students and teachers.
Students can now participate in online discussions in their
Collaborize Classrooms using an iPhone, iPod Touch, or the
specially optimized iPad app, and can collaborate online with their
classmates on-the-go, anywhere and anytime. Students complement
their in-class learning with online topic-based lessons created by
their teachers or by other teachers around the globe who have
shared lessons via the Collaborize Classroom™ Topic
Library (http://library.collaborizeclassroom.com/).
According to Democrasoft Chairman & CEO Richard Lang, "Because of size of display, the
iPad app is better than the iPhone app for consuming the multitude
of lessons that have already been created for students on the
Collaborize Classroom learning platform. This iPad version,
at only 99 cents, will greatly
increase student access to these lessons, especially for students
who can't afford a computer, while improving the visual and user
experience."
According to AppleInsider, "The launch of the new iPad shows
sales of Apple's tablet are ramping at an accelerated
rate of 156 percent year over year, putting them in a position to
become "measurably larger" than the PC market as a whole." Apple is
predicted to sell 12.2 million tablets by the end of this quarter
and the iPad has already become a teaching tool with the
development of thousands of learning applications."
The app is another powerful extension of the Collaborize
Classroom platform, which provides the ability to extend
in-class conversations and discussions to a private and secure
online site and to students' personal mobile devices. Coupled with
the Collaborize Classroom Topic Library, teachers now have a
soup-to-nuts solution to find peer-reviewed, topic-based lessons
and deploy them to their students with just a few clicks.
The App can be found in the Apple App Store
(http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/collaborize-classroom-pro/id512701825?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2).
