E-learning solutions for media-based learning

Video-based knowledge transfer
VIMP as a media-based knowledge database
The easiest e-learning case of application for VIMP is to use it as a knowledge database for your employees. Media can be catalogued in different ways, e.g. via channels, albums, groups or categories.
Clearly definable media permissions ensure that each participant can only access those media files that he or she is authorized to. There are manifold ways to use VIMP for knowledge transfer within your company.

VIMP Enterprise and VIMP Campus can be used as a media-based knowledge database out-of-the-box.
LMS extension
VIMP extents your Learning Management System (LMS) with video functionalities. Simply embed videos into your learning courses and upload media directly in the LMS.
Media permissions will be considered completely, ensuring that media files are only accessible to authorized course participants. Permission verification is implemented via Single Sign On (SSO) between the LMS and ViMP.
The Moodle and ILIAS plugins are available free of charge for VIMP Enterprise and VIMP Campus.
VIMP Moodle Plugin
Videos can be embedded into Moodle either as resources or within activities.
VIMP ILIAS Plugin
With ILIAS we support another popular Learning Management System, enabling you to embed videos into learning courses.
VIMP as a Learning Management System

The e-learning extension allows you to create learning courses with an unlimited number of learning media within VIMP.
It helps you to query the knowledge of your employees or students with video-based learning courses.
Learning courses can be public or private. You can easily limit the participant number to individually invited users. Furthermore, you can limit the availability of learning courses to a specified period of time.
Each learning course can be configured very individually. Amongst other settings you can upload a custom cover image, enable questionnaires, upload additional documents or define an individual learning media sequence.
In addition to the learning media questiannaires, an overaching questionnaire can be added, having to be answered by the participant at the end of the learning course.
Learning media can be configured individually as well. You can add questionnaires to each learning medium. You can oblige the participants to view the complete video and answer the questionnaire before being able to go on with the next medium.
Questionnaires can contain three types of questions: single choice, multiple choice or open questions. Single choice and multiple choice answers can be evaluated automatically, open questions have to be checked by a teacher or coach. At the end of the learning course period a certifiacte can be sent automatically to the participant, if he or she reached the minimum score.
Special users of VIMP, so called Teachers, are permitted to create learning courses. Within the learning course manager they have multiple configuration options to manage their courses, media and participants.
In addition, they can nominate Coaches that help them with evaluating the learning courses and manage the participants.
