28. A Learning Management System or LMS is an
application that helps manage classes online
through different features such as syllabus
management, assignments, discussions, and
file exchanges.
29. Social learning is a new and exciting
revolution in online education integrating
social apps in e-Learning to improve
engagement and adaptability of users.
30. Virtual Campus is a social learning platform
which means we integrate and use social
media applications to make e-Learning
effective. We believe that schools should
deploy platforms which users are already
familiar with, such as Facebook, Youtube or
Twitter. We are also proudly Pinoy-made.
31. We see Moodle and Edmodo as our
competitors. These are international
websites. We believe that we are more
interactive than our competitors. For more
info about our competitors, check the
following comparison chart.
32. By far, Virtual
Campus has the
most complete set
of features and is
more versatile
than its
competitors

33. Implementing
Moodle,
although free,
may be more
expensive in the
long run due to
costs in server,
customization,
manpower and
training.

34. Yes. Virtual Campus runs on the cloud which
means you need to be connected to the
Internet so that you can access it from
anywhere using any device with a browser.
There are some cases where the school can
implement through their local area network.
35. Virtual Campus is owned and operated by
88DB Pilippines, a 7-year old company with
vast experience in the digital business.
36. Yes. Virtual campus can be customized
especially the look and feel. In some cases we
can customize on the application level such
as the exam system or the grading system.
No
37. It all depends on the number of users and
what the users are simultaneously doing on
the platform. Most probably, students will
access it outside the school therefore saving
you some bandwidth.
38. Students, teachers, and parents are
constantly connected to their school,
especially to their classes. Virtual Campus
allows teachers to conduct their classes
online in a very social and interactive way so
students are more engaged and in this way,
learning is fun. There is evidence during the
pilot project that engagement level is 85% or
more.
39. Not necessarily. Virtual Campus is an online
system so you will only need a browser and
an internet connection. You can access it
through any device.
40. Virtual Campus is a platform wherein any
content can be integrated, either free or paid,
or created by the teachers. We believe that
teachers become facilitators of readily
available content.
41. We offer affordable annual subscription rates
per user, which can be passed on to the
students.
42. There is no minimum requirement but there
may be graduated rates based on volume.
43. A website displays information and static
information about your school while Virtual
Campus is interactive and collaborative. We
can integrate Virtual Campus to your existing
site so that users can access it through your
site. No
44. We can do a subdomain (e.g
school.virtualcampus.ph) or we can use your
own domain name and link Virtual Campus
there. No
45. It includes the Virtual Campus system,
hosting, maintenance, and technical support.
We also train your teachers free of charge.
46. The school will own the content unless the
content that is integrated from outside
sources.
47. In our experience, since students are
identified through their username or school
ID, they will be hesitant to post anything
negative. They will be responsible and liable
for anything which they post. Virtual Campus
also has an admin site which can block or ban
users from using the system.
48. 88DB has many years of experience in terms
of handling servers and networks. We ensure
the availability and integrity of your site.
49. Facebook and other similar sites are public
domains which means you cannot control
what your students will see or post. Virtual
Campus has the same powerful applications
but in your own private domain with the
supervision of your school.
