Dan Cane picks up SIIA CODiE Award
Dan Cane has always said that he’s “the biggest fan of Backpack.” It only seemed fitting that Dan would be the one that attended and picked up the 2006 Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) CODiE Award. Blackboard Backpack won the category for Best Education Technology Solution for Productivity/Creativity.
As I’ve written before, Agilix has partnered with Blackboard to develop Backpack. Backpack is a personal learning and student productivity software application that extends the Blackboard Academic Suite into “offline” study settings.
Students use Backpack help students to:
- Download courses for anytime, anywhere use
- Organize their life
- Personalize their study with digital annotation, note taking, and search.
