Interview with Harman Singh, the 30-year old CEO of WizIQ
Harmon Singh, the 30-year old CEO of WizIQ, believes the most important thing he can do to support education reform across the globe is to give teachers and learners a feature-rich virtual classroom space where they can meet whenever and wherever they need to. Inside or outside of conventional schools.
Harman also believes that the technology needs to work simply and seamlessly, requiring no downloads on either side of the teaching-learning equation. And he also believes the cost of using the technology should be affordable to any teacher willing to translate his/her expertise into a virtual arena and share it with a learner. So, Harman’s development team has made WizIQ – a free, public system that teachers and learners can access whenever they need to, using any broadband internet connection in the world. Harman Singh has a big dream, a powerful development team, and strong financial backing. Hear him talk about what WizIQ is and why you need to take a look at it today. http://odeo.com/audio/18723413... |

Education Technology Innovation : WiZiQ Virtual Classroom Embed
WiZiQ's blog says:
http://wiziq.typepad.com/wiziq... We bring you the first exclusive preview of the eagerly awaited and ground breaking WiZiQ Virtual Classroom Embed. The Virtual Classroom Embed will allow the teachers, educators and service providers to embed their WiZiQ Virtual Classes/ Sessions on their own website or blog, as easily as you do a YouTube Video. This allows them to create high quality multimedia content for their website or blog and allow their website or blog visitors to register and attend for their classes/ sessions right on their website or blog itself. The attendees on their website or blog can see the video of the teacher conducting the class/ session, content being used in the classroom and even chat via Virtual Classroom Instant Messenger. The teachers, continue to deliver the classes/ sessions just like before. They sign in on WiZiQ, launch their sessions and then they can interact with these attendees just like they do with other attendees from WiZiQ Virtual Classroom itself. What's more, the Virtual Classroom embed would be absolutely free and also very simple to use. WiZiQ is the first platform to offer such a set of features [content streaming, instant messenger chat, video streaming] at the same time. We plan to extend these features even more with recordings being viewed it the embed player itself. Watch this blog for more details on the Virtual Classroom embed, over the coming month. Also, below you would find an example of the embed. This is an embed of an upcoming public session. If phrases like eLearning, eTeaching, online learning, online teaching, virtual classrooms, live classes, blended learning are a part of your lexicon, we would love to hear your feedback on the embed via comments on this blog post. |
