Technology solutions and social enterprise company Think Tank has launched vCampus, a digital learning platform designed to cater to individuals, universities and businesses across diverse industry verticals.

vCampus provides the intersection where digital technology meets the desire for knowledge and skills enhancement. It offers a unique ecosystem for two essential roles – content creators and learners – the company outlines.

Content creators can now partner with vCampus to share their expertise with the world.

The platform facilitates content hosting, marketing and a revenue-based compensation model.

Learners are able to gain access to an array of educational content to enrich their skills and knowledge, in their own time and at their own pace.

“At Think Tank, we believe in the power of accessible and inclusive education. vCampus is a testament to our commitment to revolutionising the learning experience, empowering individuals, universities and businesses to thrive in a rapidly evolving world,” says founder and MD Tebogo Moleta.

Key features of vCampus include content diversity, with vCampus to cover an extensive, ever-growing range of topics and industries, making it accessible and relevant to anyone, regardless of their field of interest.

It will also have customisation for businesses, whereby organisations can easily create a customised account within minutes, complete with their branding, turning vCampus into a white-label learning solution for their employee training and upskilling.

It also offers flexible subscriptions, and users can opt for free accounts or choose from various subscription levels to suit their preferences and needs.

It also allows partnerships with educational content creators and learning organisations. Think Tank collaborates with social media influencers, celebrities and learning organisations to ensure maximum visibility, exposure and engagement for the content creators and their courses on vCampus.

There is also a revenue-sharing model. Organisations can partner with Think Tank to publish their existing courses on vCampus free of charge and share profits through a revenue-sharing model.

Subject matter experts can also create their own course content and benefit from the monetisation of that content.

It also engenders interactive, immersive learning. vCampus offers a gamification module, encouraging active participation and learning engagement and content is delivered in digestible chunks that can be slotted in around other work and life commitments.

Individuals can register with ease, the company says, providing essential details such as name, email, educational background and proof of expertise to become content creators. A lack of formal qualifications, however, will not be an impediment to sharing one’s expertise and knowledge with others.

In terms of quality assurance, the platform ensures that the content meets minimum guidelines before approval, thereby maintaining high-quality educational standards.

vCampus continues to evolve, with plans to introduce additional features such as trending courses and top-rated courses, enhancing user experience and content visibility.
