Haiku LMS App Now Available on the Google Apps Marketplace

Online, January 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Haiku Learning Systems today announced it has added Haiku LMS to the Google Apps Marketplace™, Google's online storefront for Google Apps™ products and services.

Haiku LMS is a K-12 learning management system in the cloud. Focused on simplicity, it's a feature-rich, web-based service that enables teachers to easily create classroom websites, collect and grade assignments and assessments-including ePortfolios-all from a web browser. Students interact via Wikis, discussions, and comments. Haiku monitors how often a student has viewed course material, which can be helpful in remediation and in identification of useful content for students.

"We're very excited about joining Google Apps Marketplace," says Bryan Falcón, Haiku Learning's CEO. "Our goal is to create a simple cloud-based learning environment where file uploads and downloads are no longer necessary. This latest integration with Google Apps takes us much closer to our goal of "speed-of-thought" class management."

By integrating with Google Apps, Haiku LMS enables single sign-on, which allows for users to avoid multiple logins and separate accounts.

The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easy for the more than 3 million businesses and the thousands of educational institutions using Google Apps to discover, purchase and deploy integrated web applications and related professional services. By integrating with user account and application data stored in Google Apps, these cloud applications provide a simpler user experience, increase efficiency and reduce administrative overhead.
