UK-Based Nisai Delivers Education Online

iLinc (Pink Sheets: ILNC – News), a leader in web conferencing, desktop video conferencing software, and its UK based partner Nisai, a leading provider of innovative online learning solutions, is expanding online education through the integration of iLinc and Microsoft SharePoint. Nisai’s integration of iLinc’s award-winning meeting tool with Microsoft SharePoint allows users to quickly and easily join live online meetings seamlessly from within their SharePoint workspace. Use of the Nisai Connect™ platform to access and manage live iLinc sessions from within their own personalized SharePoint learning space leverages the power of both systems from an easy-to-use, single interface.

Dhruv Patel, CEO of Nisai, indicated that, “The live classroom element of Nisai Connect is a fantastic tool that allows students to attend online classes with a single click. The range of functionality offered by iLinc’s enterprise-class software allows students to participate in some amazingly engaging, inspiring and effective learning from within their individual SharePoint learning portal. We are seeing more and more students from all over the UK access live online education through our Web platform. Not only is the iLinc – SharePoint integration being used as an effective way to teach students who have problems and must remain outside mainstream schooling, but it also serves to bolster students who need extra support within traditional in-person classroom settings. We see the integration providing enhanced utility and productivity for students and teachers alike.”

Frank Gartland, Vice President of Technology for iLinc, said, “We provide easy-to-use integration tools that are being used by partners to extend the utility of their software by adding enterprise-class collaboration. This iLinc – SharePoint integration is just one example of how iLinc is effectively extending its reach through indirect channels. Our web platform, in combination with our free and fully supported API, is already being used by some of the world’s leading CRM, LMS and Telco providers to enhance their offerings and increase sales. We see the extension and integration of our product into collaboration and communication tools as a natural means of product distribution that is quietly increasing our market share and customer growth.”
