Technology continues to up the ante when it comes to
mobile learning.
The online learning company WizIQ developed a mobile
app allowing teachers to schedule live classes that students can join from
anywhere. In addition, students can use the app to access recorded classroom
sessions, course videos, class documents, and presentations via their
smartphones or tablet computers.
The platform makes it possible for teachers and
students to communicate in real-time, allowing them to stay current on classes,
tests, and assignment deadlines. The app is an enhancement to the cloud-based
management system WizIQ launched in the fall and requires no dedicated IT
support.
“After all, people are now accessing more content on
mobile devices than anywhere else,” WizIQ CEO Harman Singh told CampusTechnology.
“Why should education be any different?”
The app is available through the App Store for iPhones
and will soon be launched in the Google Play store for Android devices.
