WiZiQ Sessions are now WiZiQ Classes

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”.

It might just seem to be a simple change from one word into another. But as words and their meaning can be crucial, I think this is a good and important turn. I always wondered why WiZiQ called their classes sessions anyway.

Hence, Schedule a Session would be Schedule a Class, Public Session would be Public Class, Private Session would be Private Class.

But the most considerable point to my mind is this:

We also believe this will differentiate us from other providers of web conferencing software.

That’s very interesting because it shows that a new evaluation of online teaching is coming up. Before online teachers just used online conferencing software to take their classes online. But the software was not made for teachers. It was made for big companies to conduct their meetings of different branches all over the world without travel costs etc.

Now there are real virtual classrooms, concepted for teaching from the beginning on. This also means that there is a real demand from students and teachers for technologies like that and that means there is a real market for online teaching. And for these reasons WiZiQ redefines its position on the market.

Great news!

  • Hi Vikrama,

    thank you for your nice compliment. This has no effect on my objectivity for future reviews of your site, of course ;).

    Maybe we can have a little chat about WiZiQ's plans, if you like. Would love to hear about your new direction.

    See you,
    Kirsten
  • Hi Kirsten:

    Thank you for covering this change. WiZiQ is also planning some more subtle changes [there won't be any in terminology] to make us even more focused on teaching/ training and learning community.

    We value trust and time of experts like you as well as the students who choose to learn using WiZiQ. We want their experience to be great. If there is anything we can help clarify or if anyone wants any training organized [free of cost, an no marketing follow up assured], they can just write to us or maybe if they find it convenient to the wonderful author of this blog :)

    Thanks
