WizIQ also allows course developers to create courses that contain archived webinars. Students can sign up through WizIQ's courses portal and access the course content, assessment, and generate a certificate the reflects performance on a final assessment.
So, individuals or institutions that would like to create a "mini-MOOC" can do so fairly easily with WizIQ. In addition to video instruction in languages and computer programming, there are also intriguing titles such as Vedic Math and MatLab for Financial Engineering (value priced at $5! the regular price is $250).
WizIQ is available through subscription, and will also be available for free with Moodle 2.4.

1. Westmoreland Intermediate Unit #7 integrates WizIQ Virtual Classroom
Westmoreland
Intermediate Unit #7, one of the 29 educational agencies in the state of
Pennsylvania, serves seventeen school districts. The agency was looking to
provide a flexible environment where a student could still be in a
brick-and-mortar school and have an option to take advanced online courses
offered in other district schools.
With the
WizIQ’s 17 installations of Moodle Course Management System,
teachers were able connect with students in real-time and teach classes just as
they would in the traditional classroom and that too without downloading any
software.
