Today WiZiQ and italki both announced some very interesting new features to their websites which will be very helpful for teachers who are using those platforms.
WiZiQ is enlarging the possibilities for teachers to monetize on the content they deliver and italki adds some long awaited features like lesson packages to their service which I will cover in a second post.
Today WiZiQ officially launched a new feature for premium members of the platform. From now on premium teachers can create and sell asynchronous, self paced courses to students.
I think this is a great addition to the existing range of features and rounds up the overall experience for teachers as well as for students on the WiZiQ platform. And for teachers who are not yet premium members this could be a good reason to opt in for the premium account.
A long awaited feature finally made it in the WiZiQ classroom: screen sharing. According to a survey I made amongst teachers a couple of months ago screen sharing comes directly after voice quality on the must have list for virtual classrooms.
Yesterday I attended a class of Vikrama Dhiman about the new Learning Request System from WiZiQ, so basically about how to find students on this platform.
Although the audio was not very good I think I understood the idea 
.
And did you notice: they changed the new logo back to the old color scheme. Well done!
WiZiQ announced the start for Public Paid Classes in their blog today. They also got themselves a new look so I think it’s time to put them into the spotlight again.
In their blog WiZiQ announced that from now on every teacher can schedule public classes on his own. Before you had to apply for a public class and a WiZiQ member set it up for you.
Therefore let us have a quick look on this feature and how a teacher can use it to promote himself.
I took some days off and headed down south to Bordeaux just to relax a bit and sort some thoughts I came up with in the past couple of weeks.
There will be a recap of my trip in my private blog “My Brittany“. If you are interested how I spent my free time, you can have a look over there . And there will be a professionel recap of my decisions in this blog here, of course.
WiZiQ.com announced today that they will rename the WiZiQ Sessions into WiZiQ Classes.
Today, we take one more step to increase our relevance to education, online teaching, eLearning and teaching community. We are disbanding the use of the term “session”.
Today I had my first public session on WiZiQ.com.
Public sessions are classes with several attendees that are offered by teachers on the WiZiQ platform for free. There is a huge variety of topics available, from languages to mathematics, from exam preparation to spiritual guidance. Continue reading
