Single sign-on: The WizIQ Virtual Classroom
doesn’t require Moodle users to maintain separate
accounts with WizIQ. Moodle administrators simply
need to download the module and install it on their
Moodle servers. Teachers and students can then
seamlessly access the WizIQ Virtual Classroom
without any additional authentication.
Schedule and manage classes, upload
content, and view recordings from within
Moodle: From scheduling, delivering online
classes, and class management to uploading
content for use in these classes, all WizIQ functions
are accessible from within Moodle. There’s no
separate dashboard, no extra data entry, and
no extra work. Just schedule online classes with
WizIQ’s Moodle module within your Moodle website
and get to teaching online, in person, or both.
No special training required: Once the WizIQ
Virtual Classroom module is installed, live class
sessions can be implemented as Moodle activities,
and students from around the world can have
seamless access to synchronous events within the
context of a blended Moodle course.
Direct editing of WizIQ classes and content
from within Moodle: Teachers can edit the
schedule for their upcoming classes and make
changes to the uploaded content, again, right from
within Moodle.
Track class attendance: WizIQ Virtual Classroom
records every time students log in and out. An
attendance report is generated by the end of class
and teachers can download the report to use for
their own records or to share with parents.
Get class recordings: All classes on WizIQ can
be recorded. Teachers can allow students to view
the recordings online or download them for later
reference. The recorded classes capture all media
sharing (audio/video), desktop sharing, and content
sharing in the main portion of the WizIQ Virtual
Classroom (Breakout Rooms are not captured). A
weekly report is sent to teachers on how often the
recordings were viewed and/or downloaded.
OverviewThe WizIQ Virtual Classroom integrates with Moodle to create new capabilities for synchronous learning - all from within the LMS environment.
