The online learning market is set to grow manifold in the coming years and Web 2.0 technologies, in combination with faster Internet are critical in making knowledge outsourcing a key part of services exports from countries like India. Numerous Indian internet startups have harnessed the power of the Web 2.0 to impart online tutoring to pupils at home and abroad. Tutorvista has already developed a niche in this market. A promising company with links to India is WizIQ. According to the company website,WiZiQ is a web-based platform for anyone and everyone who wants to teach and learn live, online. Teachers and students use WiZiQ for its state-of-the-art virtual classroom, to create and share online educational content and tests, and to connect with persons having similar subject interests.
WizIQ has recently developed a module for Moodle - the most popular education related Content Management System (CMS) solution. The WizIQ moodle module connects to WizIQ's free Online Virtual Classroom - a free alternative to expensive conferencing tools in online teaching/learning software market.
I am currently testing WizIQ for online teaching and have added the module to my moodle site: http://www.tutorvista.com/moodle
