Agilix Backpack

To students:

Sorry folks, there is no compatibility with Blackboard 9. Blackboard removed the server component that facilitates the connection, called Mobilizer, from that version of the server. It is unlikely that Agilix will be able to re-develop that component as a building block for the new version of the server.

If you are currently using Backpack with Blackboard 7.x or 8.x then be aware that when your school upgrades to version 9 you will no longer be able to connect with Backpack.

To educators:

Agilix does not support the server-side code (”Mobilizer”) that is required to permit the connection between Agilix Backpack and the Blackboard server. That code, managed by Blackboard, Inc., is currently built into Blackboard server versions 7 and 8. However, Blackboard has decided to drop the Mobilizer from version 9, so Backpack will not be able to connect to that version.

Agilix develops others solutions that provide similar functionality, but not on the Blackboard platform. If you would like to learn more you can find more information about the solutions here: http://www.agilix.com/products.html and http://www.brainhoney.com/

There is also an instructor testimonial on YouTube here (this is a high school implementation): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSA3Ug2jXF4
