Wiz IQ:
WizlQ is an online platform that allows educators to deliver live classes, use multiple whiteboards and tools, view and share files (documents, presentations, and multimedia files), and view recordings of live classes. it allows students to view courses and documents, presentations, PDFs, videos, attend live classes and view class recordings. However, some users complain that the video and audio quality is very low, student interface is identical as teachers which provides them with features just like teachers, and the Administrative interface is not user friendly. The "naming" makes no sense. For example, "Connection" for "Contacts".

LessonWriter:
LessonWriter was built by teachers, for teachers, with one idea in mind: make it easier to teach better. One teacher created an application to perform repetitive tasks with new materials, such as formatting work sheets and creating flashcards from a newspaper article. Colleagues noticed and added their own ideas; e.g., "It would be cool if it could identify grammar points in an article" and "I'd love an app that remembered what I taught and suggested what to teach next", and additional features were added.
