      Agilix Selected as One of Three Winners in Microsoft's
                   Ingenuity Point Competition
   GoCourse Learning System Takes Top Award in Education Category as Part of
        Round Two of the International Competition to Drive Innovation

Orem, Utah, USA -- April 22, 2008 -- Today, Agilix Labs, Inc. announced that its GoCourse
Learning System solution has been selected as a winner in round two of Microsoft Corp.'s
Ingenuity Point contest, a worldwide competition for independent software vendors (ISVs) that
recognizes solutions built on Microsoft technology with the potential to drive positive change in
the areas of education, healthcare and environmental sustainability. GoCourse Learning System,
a personalized distributed learning platform for delivering online courses, is the winner in the
education category.

"Educational institutions want to deliver personalized learning through rich, engaging content to
their online students. We are pleased to work with Microsoft worldwide in providing a powerful
new learning solution to schools and institutions that need the benefits of fully distributed
learning," said Curt Allen, Agilix CEO.

"The Agilix GoCourse Learning System is the first hosted `Software + Services' solution built on
the Microsoft platform that can be easily customized and integrated with other components of a
complete eLearning system through a suite of open XML APIs," said Allen.

GoCourse Learning System, which is now in its 2.0 released version, is a distributed online
learning system designed to address the needs of distance and online education and training
around the world.

GoCourse Learning System improves the lives of teachers and students. The solution provides
the tools that allow any instructor or instructional designer to create and deliver rich and
engaging courses with minimal effort. Instead of publishing course materials as a series of links
and text in a browser, GoCourse delivers the entire course inline as a series of engaging learning
experiences through an immersive course player environment. The combination of dynamic
templates and simple drag-and-drop assembly methods supports the creation of course
content, quizzes and assessments and learning activities that are accessed through either an
Internet browser or an installed Windows application.

GoCourse's distributed learning model and personalized learning approach provide students
with access to anywhere, anytime learning that expands the concept of the classroom to include
anywhere the student has access to the course materials, even when Internet access may not be
available.

"Ingenuity Point contest winners such as Agilix utilize Microsoft technology to build new,
exciting applications that make a difference in the world and demonstrate the true power of
software," said Rob Bernard, chief environmental strategist at Microsoft. "We are pleased to
recognize Agilix as an ISV leading the field of pioneering software solutions in the education
category."

Agilix customers include schools and institutions, such as K-12 school districts, universities, ,
professional associations, and corporate and military training organizations that use GoCourse
to author, deliver, and track comprehensive online courses.

Once an online course is created, GoCourse Learning System delivers the course as a series of
interactive and media-rich learning experiences, tracking both performance and time spent.

Agilix and the winners in the other two categories make up the final-round grand prize
recipients of the yearlong Ingenuity Point competition and are joined by the three grand prize
winners from round one. The six vertical winners selected in both award rounds are eligible to
be chosen as the Platinum Ingenuity Point Award winner later this spring. Platinum Award
winners will receive additional marketing support from Microsoft, as well as a coveted guest
judge position at the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2008 competition to be held in Paris.

More information about the contest and all winning ISVs is available at the Ingenuity Point Web
site, http://www.theingenuitypoint.com.
