Using WiZiQ’s Live Class Modules with Moodle

Using the Free Virtual Classroom with Moodle
==================================================
The Online Virtual Classroom on WiZiQ is a free alternative to
expensive web-conferencing software, and has audio and video, chat,
whiteboard and multiple document sharing support. This collaboration
tool can be used for synchronous online sessions with Moodle. Teachers
can connect globally with students using this tool. To use the virtual
classroom, Moodle administrators can now download WiZiQ’s Live Class
modules for Moodle and install these modules in the Moodle
installation on their server.
Users can simply activate our “Block.” and launch an “Activity” right
from within Moodle. How-to video tutorials are available on the
downloads page for Moodle here:

The modules have been successfully tested on Apache, PHP and MySQL
installations and support Microsoft IIS server installations also.
Highlights of the Virtual Classroom
1. It is free, both for teachers, and students.
2. It works with Flash and so no downloads for students or teachers
whatsoever.
3. Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, and .pdf, .swf,
.jpeg and .gif files can be uploaded to the Virtual Classroom.
Animations are supported in .ppt and .pps presentations.
4. Presentations from the public content library on WiZiQ can be
imported into the Virtual Classroom for reference.
