How Wize is Supporting Education During the COVID- 19 Pandemic

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Queen's U chapter.

With many students struggling to adapt to an online learning platform, and professors facing the challenge of moving course material and final exams online to comply with safe social distancing guidelines, this poses a problem for some courses. Unfortunately, not all course subjects are easily taught online, and getting help with some subjects, such as math or physics, can be challenging without the in-person interaction. For most students, the added stress of a global pandemic is not making the transition to online learning any easier. 

Although it is the best solution to a difficult situation, resources are unfortunately limited which makes navigating a difficult situation harder. Luckily, some online learning platforms are offering their services for free to support students around the globe and in times like these, students can never have enough free study resources. Making education easily accessible in times of high stress is extremely important as it eases the transition to online learning, supports students who may be struggling with the transition, and may help reduce education-related stress for students. 

One of the online platforms making their services more accessible to students in this time of need is Wize. Wize (Wizedemy.com), an online learning platform for university and college students, is offering their Homework Help services for free until the end of the school year to support students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Founded by Mike Maloon, Cyrus Moradian and Dante Phillips, Wize’s goal is “Making learning simpler, more accessible, and more personalized.” After making a profile, students can search up concepts they are struggling with and access multiple practice questions, course lessons and videos related to the concept. You can learn more about accessing Wize and their free resources by watching the video below:

The online learning platform will continue to offer its Homework Help resources for free until May 31st, 2020.
