WiZiQ meets Moodle, no money changes hands
WiZiQ have just launched their Live Class module for Moodle. This integrates their free web conferencing solution directly into Moodle, so Live Class sessions can be implemented as Moodle activities and students can have seamless access to synchronous events, within the context of a blended Moodle course. The WiZiQ virtual classroom tool runs in Flash and contains many (although clearly not all) of the features associated with expensive commercial systems. You have VOIP, chat, PowerPoint upload, a whiteboard and the ability to record sessions. I would have thought this tool would be a real boon to those on tight budgets who already have Moodle installations - it might even be a good enough reason for picking Moodle in the first place.
Just one thing bothers me. I've had a good look at the WiZiQ site and I can see no way for them to earn revenue. Providing bandwidth for 1000s of virtual classroom sessions sounds expensive. Am I missing something?

Great to see such helpful posts.
I have also looked at this plugins but not yet get it working on Moodle (http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=87640).
And just like you, I haven't noticed any possibility that WiZiQ earn money. But that's not our problem, right? :)

Hi Clive,
Thanks for posting this news. We get that question about our revenue model quite often. I also posted an answer in the Moodle forums sometime back:
I will just copy that and paste it here as an answer:
The features/services you see on WiZiQ so far--we call them basic features--are always going to be free e.g. live sessions with audio/ video, for one student or a group of students, recordings of these sessions, PowerPoint and other content sharing features etc. In fact, we will be adding more such features for free on the site. Then at a later stage there will be a set of advanced features for WiZiQ power users for which we will charge a monthly subscription fee.
Thanks,

Hi Leang,
Greetings to you.
If you are having any problems with the integration modules, you can also send us your Moodle installation login to support at wiziq.com and we can see what the problem is.
We would need the ftp account of your Moodle directory, where we can check the WiZiQ activity and block modules. Also provide us admin access to Moodle.
Thanks,
