Handheld Learning 2007



Established as a High-Tech privately held company in 1989, Fourier has now become a worldwide leader in science education. Products include compact portable data logging devices, a full suite of analysis software, more than 65 sensors and the flagship Nova5000 solution for 1:1 computing in schools. Fourier is focused on reducing time-consuming data logging tasks to a minimum by automating and simplifying the way data is gathered, analyzed and shared. Fourier also aims to provide a cost-effective solution that can make 1:1 computing a reality for most schools worldwide.

Educational technology in its more advanced form – a computing device for every student – has been shown to improve student and teacher productivity. Technology provides students with the skills that have become a necessity in the 21st century workplace. The Nova5000 Learning Alliance have set as their mission better student performance, achievement and motivation through a tailored educational solution for ubiquitous computing.
 
Collecting data into the classroom has for decades been achieved with thermometers barometers and stopwatches. However, today data loggers are highly versatile and mobile with built in memory chips, individual sensors and powerful software for data analysis. With Fourier data loggers students are free from time consuming tasks of manually logging and observing their experiments and instead can focus on designing their layout and analyzing their results. Furthermore, computerized science and math learning enables more flexible teaching not contained by classroom walls. Fourier is committed to improving student achievement and providing the tools and skills that are critical for the 21st century.
 
A global company, Fourier has sales in more than 50 countries and produces over 100 award winning products, three of which, including the Nova5000 have won the Worlddidac award. This is the most recognized international prize in the education sector for innovative and pedagogically valuable products that improve teaching and learning. Produced in over 20 languages and reaching classrooms across the globe, Fourier products already dominate many of the computer based scientific educational markets worldwide.
 
Fourier innovation is widely recognized The EcoLogXL data logger was designed specifically with the unique ability to enable elementary school children to perform science experiments in a simple and yet very educationally effective way. The TriLink was the first data logger to leverage wireless technology. Our software, MultiLab and EcoLab were the first in the science market to incorporate multi-media video, audio and graphical analysis. As well as specially designed meter views to make critical data analysis possible for even really young children.
