[edit]The company imc information multimedia communication AG was founded in 1996 within the Scheer Group of the Saarland, by business informatics professor and former BITKOM President August-Wilhelm Scheer as a spin off to bundle the E-learning business and to expand.[1][2][3] August-Wilhelm Scheer is the Head of the Supervisory Board.

The company's main product is a Learning management system (LMS). The LMS is the technical basis of the 2011 introduced free access MOOCS platform OpenCourseWorld.[6][7][8][9]
In 2014, the IT Journal CHIP placed OpenCourseWorld under the three best MOOCS platforms in the German speaking world together with Coursera and iversity.[10]
