Odijoo, which means \u201cteacher\u201d in Swahili, is a free to use web-based application that combines course creation, learning management, hosting, e-commerce and social networking tools.<\/p>\n Unlike other online learning solutions, Odijoo allows small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) to have their own private, personalized and secure \u201cOdijoo campus\u201d. A campus is an online storefront, where users can store, administer and promote their Odijoo courses. Campuses are designed for smaller businesses and organizations, that need to train their employees under a tight budget.<\/p>\n \u201cOdijoo is designed to help companies get their training online in a matter of days without third party consultants,\u201d says Shevy Levy, the visionary behind Odijoo. \u201cSMBs can finally afford to reach their learners and with the campus feature, can do so from a single secure online place.\u201d<\/p>\n After over a year of development, Odijoo was released in early October of 2009. The application is free to use and can be accessed at www.odijoo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n About Odijoo<\/strong>
