Case Study: Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) achieves scalable, engaging online distance learning with WizIQ

DMACC Trusts WizIQ to Bring its Extensive Distance Learning Program Online

Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), one of the fastest-growing community colleges with over 700 faculty and more than 70,000 students, sought to move its extensive distance-learning programs online while meeting high standards for educational effectiveness. The college needed a scalable, feature-rich platform that supported synchronous learning, seamless multimedia communication, easy integration with existing IT, and an intuitive experience for both digital-native students and teaching-focused instructors.

DMACC chose the WizIQ Virtual Classroom, deploying an initial 150 rooms and expanding to 1,000 licenses; the browser-based solution delivered live audio/video, multi-feed video, chat, mobile access, lecture recordings and 24/7 support. Adoption was rapid—about 30–35 teachers use it daily, 3,000+ courses have been run—and DMACC reported stronger student engagement, easier instructor workflow, and a smooth, low-impact implementation that expanded access and collaboration across its distance-education offerings.
