The Second Annual Crunchies Awards would be organized by TechCrunch in January. We believe WiZiQ has a strong chance in the category of "Most Likely To Make The World A Better Place".
But how do we qualify for this unique category?
It's all about making education more accessible to one and all online with new innovations in education- breaking the barriers of distance, time, accessibility and money etc. It's about using technology to make the world a better place by reducing our carbon footprints. Its about wiping out ignorance as it is the root of many evils and only education can reduce ignorance on our planet. Yes the Virtual Classroom is making education accessible without the need of traveling across distances to learn or teach - without burning fuel and spending money. And the latest Virtual Class Embeds will definitely increase the reach of many teachers and bring the classroom--live--to students' desktops across the globe.
To elaborate:
- We are connecting students from across the world to the best of teachers and experts and hence, helping bring quality education to a wide audience, who won't have otherwise got access to these teachers or experts.
- Going online, helps teachers charge less [no infrastructure or other overhead burdens]. Hence, quality education not only becomes accessible but inexpensive too. Also read, Driving Down Education Costs With Online Technology.
- We provide quality educational content, tests and classes to the students - most of it free of cost. Also read Learning Online Makes Economic Sense.
- We are making mother earth better for generations to come by helping educators reduce their carbon foot prints [no travel, no construction and less paper].
- Finally, we are connecting the education world around the world. This is opening up opportunity to learn different languages, cultures and subjects. This "Education Network" by virtue of its accessibility, helps groom a new generation which understands the world view better.
