ZIMS for Education

LearnZIMS: Teaching the Global Standard
in Animal Records Management

LearnZIMS is an educational tool that offers unique licensing opportunities to universities, educational facilities and members of Species360. This platform is dedicated to enhancing the learning experience in zoology, wildlife management and conservation, providing students and educators with access to world-class resources.

What is LearnZIMS?

LearnZIMS is an educational licensing option developed by Species360, a global non-profit organization committed to wildlife conservation and research. This educational platform is part of the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), which is widely recognized as the leading software solution for managing animal and conservation data.
LearnZIMS allows academic institutions offering zoology courses, and Species360 members to access this powerful tool for educational purposes, enabling students and staff to gain practical experience and knowledge in managing zoological data effectively.
The educational version of ZIMS provides a teaching platform and practice database through which students can enter and manipulate their own data and access that of other educational institutions. Licensees also manage the ultimate disposition of their data with no involvement by Species360.

Enhanced Educational Experience

LearnZIMS enriches the educational offerings of universities by integrating data management skills into their curriculum. Students learn to navigate and utilize a professional-grade database, preparing them for careers in zoology, wildlife conservation, and ecological research.

Supporting In-house Member Training Needs

Equip your staff with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enter and manage data easily in ZIMS. This learning platform can be used to train new staff or provide refresher training for existing users. And having more staff trained in using ZIMS means you can do more with your data, from tracking animal welfare parameters in the Care and Welfare module, monitoring the health of your corals, to checking common anesthesia protocols for veterinary procedures. The LearnZIMS platform also provides the ideal environment to test new features, like the recently launched Daily Activity, before committing with live data.

What members say
about ZIMS for Education

Since adopting the ZIMS education license in 2013, our animal recordkeeping classes have seen substantial improvement. We’ve smoothly incorporated ZIMS functions to highlight essential concepts in our introductory zoo science, wild animals in captivity, and taxa-based classes.
Partnering with five AZA members and ZIMS we benefit from global insights into the science and practices of caring for animals under human care. ZIMS serves as an invaluable partner in our degree program.
