The app makes online classes on WizIQ more accessible for the growing number of students who choose to carry an iPad everywhere instead of lugging a full-sized laptop with them. Students can:
Attend online classes from home, a cafe, or wherever they happen to be.
Connect with video and audio on their iPads.
View presentations, reports, documents, PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, and multimedia files -- whatever the teacher shares with the class.
See the whiteboard with all its drawing tools and write on it when the teacher allows.
Text chat publicly with all participants
Virtually raise their hands in the class for questions.
Give instant feedback through polls as shared by the instructor.
The app is free for WizIQ users, enabling access to online classes from the most popular tablet in the world. WizIQ is also developing an Android app and will announce a beta program on that platform soon.

"The iPad app is one of those great tools for actually putting student iPads to use; it's ideal for increasing student interactivity. Whether in a physical classroom or a fully online class conducted anywhere, students have instructional materials in the palms of their hands and can engage with an interactive virtual whiteboard with a simple touch. That's 20 students, 30 students, or, in fact, any number of students who can contribute using a virtual whiteboard instead of just 1 or 2 on a standard IWB in a classroom."
