WiZiQ's Best Web Conferencing Moodle Module Ever - Now Available

Here's some great news for all who have been looking forward to an update on our Web conferencing  module for Moodle. Yes, our Moodle module has just been updated to version 1.1. We have added a lot of usable features and improvements to help teachers and students make the best use of this module. There are improvements in module installation, Virtual Classroom features, recordings, rescheduling, scheduling for groups, etc. Here are the details:

Virtual Classroom Features

1.      Screen Sharing is supported
2.      Teachers can enter the class before start time
3.      Attendees can be blocked selectively
4.      You-Tube videos are supported
5.      Virtual Classroom can be co-branded with your own name
6.      Chat can be disabled for all attendees

Download Recordings

Class teachers and students can now download recordings of the classes they attend. Class downloads allow you to:

1.      View classes offline (Internet connection is not required)
2.      Distribute your recordings on CD/DVDs
3.      Own your recordings forever using your own storage media

Change class date and time and other options after you schedule a class

Reschedule a class - Time and date changes made to classes will automatically reflect in your Moodle calendar.

Schedule a class for a group in your course

You can choose to schedule a class for a group or groups in that course. Only group members have access to your class.

Easier Installation

Now the Soap module is not required to install the Live Class module, which was a requirement in previous versions.

Secure class

- All scheduled classes are secure and accessible only to members to attend
- The Presenter can invite other member(s) to join a class by simply sending the class link
 
Secure recordings

- Only the attendees in the class get access to the class recording
- A common link to the recording is provided to the Presenter, which can be distributed to others for viewing

See class status and attendance reports for your classes

Do you have Brazilian Portuguese on the user interface?

[conference software]

Conferencing software is the latest in global communication. The costs to any company can be cut dramatically in using this kind of tool. I use conferencing software and it has changed the way I do business online. I highly recommend this as a major step forward with any business, large or small.

@Joel-

You are correct- the wiziq moodle module works with a subscription on org.wiziq.com.

Possible Solution could be, we can refund the amount and you can buy the plan on org.

Let us know your thoughts on this and we will be happy to work with you.

Take care

@Lori-

you need to have account on org.wiziq.com which is a different product. Please send us your contact details and the representative will contact you.

Take care

I have a WiZiQ premium account, too, but found out the hard way (after installing the WiZiQ Moodle module) that it only works with a subscription on org.wiziq.com -- not www.wiziq.com.

If I'm wrong about that, please let me know.

I have a WIZIQ Premium account. Can I use it with this new Moodle plug in?
