APEX, NC — (Marketwired) — 10/22/14 — , the online education company with 300,000 active educators and 3.7 million registered learners, today introduced the WizIQ — a powerful all-in-one learning management system (LMS) that sets a new standard for ease-of-use, convenience and affordability. The new WizIQ LMS is the only fully-integrated, cloud-based social learning platform tailored for the needs of a new generation of learners.
Colleges and universities, high schools, and training and tutoring centers can use the online learning platform to quickly create and deliver self-paced, live online or blended courses — without the need for third-party plug-ins or added costs to support advanced features.
Current-generation LMS platforms typically require added plug-ins to support live, online courses, mobile learning and other advanced features — with a high total cost of ownership when additional fees for setup, IT support, maintenance, hosting and customization are considered. Further, their user interfaces are often outdated and difficult-to-use. In contrast, the WizIQ LMS is built on a modern architecture with social collaboration and in-browser content viewing built-in. The system takes just seconds to setup without any training or IT support required, and supports any number of students with a flexible, SaaS-based pricing model.
“Other Learning Management Systems are not built for today–s instant-information society, as most of these systems were designed over a decade ago,” said . “Our next-generation WizIQ LMS provides educators with a comprehensive, hassle-free platform aligned with the latest best practices in online learning. It offers the lowest total cost of ownership of any LMS on the market today.”
The WizIQ LMS offers the industry–s most-advanced feature set, enabling teachers to create an effective and fun learning experience. All the right tools for eLearning and blended learning are available out-of-the-box including:
– Create self-paced or live, interactive courses without the pain of traditional LMS hassles.
– Share HD-quality videos via the platform–s built-in video hosting and streaming feature, enabling learners to play video files seamlessly just like YouTube.
– Teachers can create their own digital content library by uploading and sharing Microsoft Office files, PDFs, videos or anything available on the web.
– Learners can view content online with just a single click, without the hassle of downloading files.
– Teachers can create advanced online tests via time-bound and scheduled tests, adding multiple sections and multiple-choice questions.
– Teachers can activate the to create and deliver live courses, enabling them to engage with and teach students face-to-face.
– In line with today–s social media world, teachers can engage learners in social learning and increase their knowledge through collaborative learning and peer-to-peer discussions.
Unlike other LMS platforms, there is no training required to use the WizIQ LMS. The user interface is simple and intuitive, with all features just a click away. Since the platform is cloud-based, no installations, backups or additional vendors are ever required for setup and implementation. Whenever a question arises from a teacher or student, 24X7 assistance is instantly available via phone, chat and email.
WizIQ provides frequent, ongoing updates to its LMS at no additional cost to customers. For example, a new mLearning application will be launched later this fall to enable learners to access course files and videos, as well as participate in real-time discussions and live classes, on their mobile devices. In addition, advanced analytics capabilities will provide insight on how to improve content and engagement, with detailed student reports including test scores, comparative score details, and attendance reports. Since WizIQ LMS is cloud-based, these updates are seamless to the user. No installation is required, just a login as usual.
