Nancy MacIntyre, LeapFrog’s Executive Vice President for Product, Innovation and Marketing, spoke at the Forrester Marketing conference. Nancy introduced a new integrated service called Learning Path. The service focuses on personalized learning by integrating an online site with toys so that learning can be planned and tracked.

She calls it an “educational GPS” and a CRM for LeapFrog.

The service, which is planned to launch this summer, focuses on 8-13 year olds.

Learning Path automatically collects data from devices and produces reports that get emailed to the parents. It allows the parent to see first hand what the kid has been doing, how engaged they are, where they are on the Learning Path and what LeapFrog product should be next.

LeapFrog is increasing its investment into the LeapFrog website. They now have an educational content advisory board and are working on building community aspects into the site. They are also working on how to mobilize the millions of moms out there who love LeapFrog. They want to increase the strength of connection between the moms and their children by giving them information about how the child’s learning is progressing.

Nancy was asked about what LeapFrog is doing about the kids graduating from LeapFrog to Nintendo and she described their new Didj product as their competitive offering. (Editors note: Seems like Nintendo and LeapFrog should merge. It would be a good fit.)

Nancy was asked about multi-player games and she said that they have a secret product called Maestro that will be a multi-player product for kids and will launch next year.
