Educadium has some great customers. They are serious trainers and educators on the cutting edge of the knowledge industry. They want a powerful yet affordable learning management platform to realize their dreams, not a lightweight Web 2.0 app. Around the world, schools, nonprofits and businesses are building exciting new online ventures with EasyCampus.

More importantly, today's learning professionals need a partner to support them as they grow. The LMS "engine" is certainly important, but it's the partner who supports your e-learning "vehicle" and vision that matters most. Our Professional Services group is the best in the industry, and our ability to customize and extend the traditional LMS sets us apart from garden-variety hosting companies.

But don't take our word for it. We thought we'd let our customers describe their experiences with us.

"Educadium’s great tutorials and templates made setting up my campus a snap," says childcare trainer Tammy Marino. "We enjoyed the step-by-step instructions and responsive help team. Our company-branded campus made my clients feel comfortable."

On a new page, we've collected more testimonials about Educadium and our EasyCampus Virtual School Builder hosting services.

We know you have choices--and we'll even help you sort through the clutter. Whether you're an e-learning newbie or a Moodle expert, we get it and are here to help you realize your public or private learning goals.

EasyCampus offers a wealth of resources to help any online trainer or teacher get up and running quickly. Sometimes, it's just a question about how to upload a PowerPoint or link to a YouTube video. At other times, you might need more direction about the layout for an entire online course.

Whatever the e-learning question, Educadium's customer support team is ready to assist. Trained teachers and instructional designers in the United States will get back to you in about 24 hours--often faster. Help ticket forms are available inside every EasyCampus learning management system, and no question is too trivial. Every registered user on your campus has free access to our technical support systems.

Customer Support also has a large Knowledge Base of articles that extends the materials found in our tutorials area.

This week, we've drawn from our Knowledge Base and updated our help materials to make it easier to do things yourself. We call them Step Guides. They are short tutorials on popular EasyCampus activities. In a step-by-step fashion, these guides walk you though common tasks like changing a page title or uploading a SCORM activity to your online course.

Step guides are available now as part of the appendix to our updated 2010 campus administrator's guide. They will also be going online in the coming weeks. To get your updated guide immediately, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Some of the guides work only with paid subscriptions or professional services, so check your campus configuration and contact us with questions. In the new campus administation guide, here is a list of the tutorials that will simplify your EasyCampus preparations:

EasyCampus gives trainers, educators, and instructional designers the power to create a full-featured online school or training program at a truly affordable cost.

After upgrading to a subscription package (starting at $29/month), EasyCampus owners have access to new administrative features like custom branding, a course wizard, and an unlimited number of courses. If you are on the free Express version, you should seriously consider upgrading in order to enjoy all of the capabilities of EasyCampus.

This month, we have upgraded the subscription versions of EasyCampus to include more powerful account management features. For new subscribers, a My Account module has been added to their site administration panel. This can only be seen by campus administrators (not teachers or learners).

My Account streamlines and consolidates important campus owner and campus admin information into one convenient area (e.g., resource guides and help tickets). It provides easy access to important billing information.

Through daily updates, the new account information area includes:

• The names of the campus administrators
• Email links to Educadium account management
• The name of the subscription package
• The campus name
• The campus URL
• The amount of storage used (in GB)
• The number of registered users
• The campus creation date

We've also improved the custom branding capabilities of the EasyCampus LMS. Under Theme Settings in the Site Administration panel, there is a new self-service logo selector that lets campus admins upload and place a logo of up to 60 pixels high by 600 pixels wide. Popular file formats like JPEG, BMP, PNG, and GIF are supported.

Custom placement and theming can still be ordered through Educadium's Professional Services team. But the new EasyCampus Logo Selector is the perfect no-cost way to brand your campus and online courses.

These features are automatically added to your EasyCampus when you upgrade from a free Express to a paid account. Current EasyCampus subscribers can choose to add these upgrades at no charge.

Educadium's EasyCampus Virtual School Builder is a hosted learning platform that's been very reliable for our global campus owners and learners.  

In 2010, planned and unplanned outages have been virtually nonexistent. Our skilled infrastructure team reports that system uptime is in excess of 99.9%.

But on occasion, it's important to perform server maintenance in order to boost performance and add features. That's happening tonight at 11pm EST/8pm PST (May 8th). EasyCampus will be taken offline for about 5 minutes.

We do not expect this upgrade period to be prolonged, and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Support group at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
