E-teaching and use of technology is an important paradigm change in teaching and learning environments around the world. A number of tools, platforms and technologies are enabling teachers and students to collaborate in a real time [synchronous] and asynchronous modes. Anyone can do this that is teachers of any subject, or librarians, technical staff, and administrators can do this.

E-learning requires the courseware, and in addition to that the systems need to be supported with knowledge, intelligence and teacher like behavior and traits. Without these elements, e-teaching and the resultant e-learning is just unthinkable. Internet technologies allow you to teach learners across the world.It would be great if teachers could simply get in touch with learners who need help in a specific area of expertise. This is now a reality through a unique feature from WiZiQ.

WiZiQ is an online teaching and learning platform that brings students and teachers together across the world. WiZiQ is dedicated to enhancing the online learning experience of students around the globe, and providing teachers with state-of-the-art synchronous and asynchronous teaching options. Its Web-based educational solutions enable students, teachers, and tutors to connect regardless of geographic location and create new learning opportunities beyond the conventional classroom.

The learners let us know what their needs are and what kind of a teacher they are looking for. For example, a student may request for a teacher who specializes in language instruction. We then post it on the common Learning Request area without disclosing the contact details of the learner. Premium Teachers choose those students Learning Request’s that apply to their areas of instruction. When accepting the LR, instructors then see the contact details of the learner. Such details include contact information such as telephone numbers and/or e-mail address (depending on what method the student prefers to be contacted by. Once this information is available to the teacher, he or she can contact the student. This method makes the process of finding students, much easier and time effective.
