Agilix Buzz is a Learning Management System. You may have seen Schoology, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or many other LMS's... what sets Buzz apart from the crowd is the manner in which all content can be managed in a heirarchical system. Buzz is one of the most-used online content creation programs for commercial vendors in the US; they do not focus their marketing efforts at K-12 schools, which is why this platform is not more familiar to many NYS educators. The platform is top-notch and works great for our asynchronous courses.
GST BOCES has joined the NYS Learning Network group which is led by a team at Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES. The NYS Learning Network is a partner of the Agilix company, meaning we have quick access to support and developers at the company.
A district can choose to use Buzz internally - please reach out to the E-Learning Coordinator for information about an effort like that. The LMS could be "turned on" for a class, a school, or an entire district and populated with users in only a few hours. Integrating ready-made content from many different vendors can quickly and easily be done either through LTI or Buzz-Native access rights.
