Where did ObaVerse come from?

ObaVerse is built on 15 years of educational technology research conducted by Dr. Yong Zhao and a development team consisting of educators, designers, and coders here in the office Global and Online education at the College of Education at the University of Oregon. ObaVerse provides a high-quality learning management system (LMS), a digital solution that is constantly evolving to meet the needs of learners and educators. Our commitment is not to any specific set of technologies or products, but to providing the most appropriate tools for learning and instruction. We work with thousands of teachers and students from all over the world.

How are people currently using ObaVerse?

  • Large and medium scale local, state, and federal grant projects
  • Research projects connected with institutions of higher education
  • Customized courses for professional development
  • Connected collaborative spaces for communities of practice
  • It is so easy to navigate - I love the way that the week’s schedule, including all readings, topics, and assignments, is pulled straight from the syllabus and put on the front page. You have no idea how much stress you are saving me!
    Annie M., University of Oregon Graduate Student
  • Relevant and fun - Oba has given us a way to take the teaching out of the classroom and into our students’ world. It shifts teaching and learning to a social media setting that encourages collaboration and participation.
    Mae I., Technology Support Specialist
  • Thank you for the awesome platform you and your team created and maintain. Our first 3-hour training session had such great reviews - our teachers are truly excited about Oba. Training participants were "blown away" with ease of the virtual classroom and voice recording features.
    David L., Curriculum Design Coordinator
  • Just what I have been looking for - Oba has inspired me, the more I learn about it the more motivated I am to build effective and dynamic courses for my students and colleagues!
