Wiziq
Towanda Tuning
The module enables Moodle users to schedule and deliver online classes via a WizIQ virtual classroom. WizIQ's Web based virtual classroom is equipped with real-time collaboration tools like live chat, 2-way audio and video communication, whiteboard and content sharing (.doc, .docx, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .pps, .ppsx, .swf, .flv and YouTube videos). A free user account is required on org.wiziq.com to download the WizIQ Live Class module available as an 'activity' and 'block'. 'Activity' features the scheduling of live classes within the Moodle course and 'Block' lists the live classes on the schedule. Any Moodle teacher or administrator on Moodle can schedule a live class by choosing 'WizIQ Live Class' from 'Add an activity' drop-down list in a Moodle course.
Step 2: While setting up a new class, the teacher and the administrator can specify the class subject, date and time, duration, its type (audio or audio and video both) and whether to record this class.
Step 3: All your scheduled classes are private. After you successfully schedule your class, the class link starts showing in Moodle's Calendar, in the topic outline, in the upcoming events block and in the 'WizIQ Live Class' block for the course. Also, a unique URL is generated for your class for the teachers (Presenter URL) and students (Attendee URL). These class links are a sort of permalinks, which remain active even after the class, to take students to its recording.

Can anyone help with having the wiziq activity module have a default time zone (servers local time would be fine)? Followed the opposite to the instructions for this post hoping that would work, but no luck. Being able to change the class duration to something other than 30 would be good too.
I think the basic issue is you are not setting you location TZ in the user profile correctly. It's important because you get the benifit of the daylight saving being automatic and in the case of Wiz it understands it. There side of things looks for the country/area from memory.
