2. Ziksana: Key Features (as understood & of extremely high relevance to LiqVid)

Excellent Delivery Platform:
Cloud hosting & video streaming back-end services
Can be embedded inside LiqVid’s own HTML5 aggregator webpage as a URL
Can be setup in a LAN environment as well with a local “server”
Integrated LMS framework
Learner & Instructor management
Usage/view based analytics per user, per course, per module/session ..
Adaptive Learning & Assessment & Analytics
Recommendation Engine
etc

3. Key Top Level Requirements from LiqVid

(Optionally), Need to cater to current user base of LAN based solution (local server)

Support for pushing custom MCQ based templates with different multimedia usage (Ex. An MCQ question could be based on an audio clip)

7. Suggested Next Steps A conference call at earliest possibility to:
Go over these requirements
Get indicative pricing suggestion from Ziksana
Ziksana to send over an evaluation license of their platform ASAP
It would be desirable if Ziksana demonstrates the capability of packaging LiqVid’s interactive legacy content (HTML/Flash) into Ziksana platform (non-video): Manish had already sent you representative LiqVid content
