What is SaaS (Software as a Service) or Web-based Service?
VIDIZMO.COM is Web-Based and offered as a Software as a Service. Anyone can sign-up
for the Web-based service at VIDIZMO.COM and start using all features immediately.
SaaS (software as a service) and Web-based are a models of software deployment wherein
an application(s) is/are hosted as a service and provided to customers across the
Internet. By eliminating the need to install and run the applications on the customer's
own computer, SaaS/Web-based alleviates the customer's burden of software maintenance,
ongoing operation, and support.

Is VIDIZMO.COM SCORM Compliant?
VIDIZMO.COM is not a traditional “LMS”. It is a hosted environment for organizations to produce and broadcast their rich media learning content to their members, and evaluate results. For VIDIZMO.COM in its current form, SCORM conformance is not relevant.
The Mashup however qualifies as a SCORM compliant “SCO” (sharable content object), with its constituent media contents qualifying as “Assets”. Campaigns in VIDIZMO.COM qualify as “Aggregations”.
Because each Mashup is a Rich Internet Application, it consists of a “xaml” file with sequencing and instructions on how the player is to behave on quizzes and videos.
Ultra Mashup Player is an embeddable component that can run from any LMS (or any other) host, making the Mashups truly re-usable and Sharable Content Objects.
Do I need to download any software?
No, you do not need to install any software. VIDIZMO.COM is a browser based interface
and the following browsers are supported by it:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows
- Mozilla Firefox on Windows / Mac / Linux
- Google Chrome on Windows / Apple Mac / Linux
- Apple Safari on Windows / Mac
Note: All you need to install is a free browser plug-in for Microsoft Silverlight.
What are the minimum system requirements?
No other specific system requirements are needed to use VIDIZMO.
