Green Hippo launches online HippoSchool

Video manipulation specialist Green Hippo has launched an online version of its HippoSchool training, allowing Hippotizer media server users to access learning in a virtual environment.

HippoSchool Online offers basic training of the Hippotizer ZooKeeper software – the control interface for Hippotizer and the hub for real-time control of the engine and all of its components. Sessions consist of two online modular courses that take approximately five hours to complete, with more courses in the pipeline.

“We’ve built the new online training sessions for HippoSchool to make it more accessible for our users, allowing them to do the training in their own time, anywhere,” said Green Hippo’s training manager, Suzy Stenning. “HippoSchool Online enables our users to take control of their learning. The new online training means that people who were unable to do this before now can, and they can look back at the videos for up to six months after they've completed the training.”

HippoSchool, which has been running for more than seven years, has held in-person training sessions at the company’s London and Los Angeles locations, or on-site, with a team of Green Hippo training staff flying out to teach, visiting 38 countries and training more than 2,000 students, freelancers and professionals. These sessions have been paused due to the pandemic.
