Our Mission
At Virtual Education Software, inc. our mission is
to design, develop and make available superior distance,
asynchronous and blended continuing education courseware
for professional educators and personnel in related
academic or professional fields.
Our History
Significant events in VESi's history include the
following: The company (Virtual Education Software, inc.) was born from discussions by a group of educational
specialists, social workers, and psychologists
that wanted to provide high quality information
and training to teachers regardless of geographic
location. It was their belief that many teachers
did not have the resources available to meet the
unique needs of many students that were placed
in their classrooms.
These same teachers were required to continue their
educational training even after they had secured
their initial teaching certificate. Many of these
teachers wanted to earn an advanced degree in education
or a related field. For a large group of these educators,
their geographic location made it almost impossible
to continue their educational training or earn an
advanced degree.
Thus Virtual Education Software, inc. (VESi) was
founded to develop continuing education courses that
are affordable, convenient, and of the highest academic
quality.
In 1996 VESi (then incorporated as New Perspectives
Software, Inc.) released its first computer-based
instruction course, Behavior is Language, and
offered it throughout the Pacific Northwest cooperatively
through five universities.
Virtual Education Software, inc. was incorporated
in the State of Nevada in 1998. By this time the
company had four courses being offered in over a
dozen institutions throughout the Western United
States.
By the year 2000 VESi had developed partnerships
with over 40 institutions and a year later was offering
eight CBI courses cooperatively to educators in 24
states.
Virtual Education Software, inc. has continued to grow
and now offers 23 continuing education courses at
over 75 institutions in 33 states. Thousands of educators
across the country have registered for and completed
VESi courses to fulfill their continuing education
needs.
In an effort to meet the growing needs of students,
teachers, and universities, VESi has begun partnering
with institutions to develop asynchronous and blended
certificate and degree programs. These programs will
make it even easier for students, teachers, and other
professionals to access high quality educational
courses to complete re-licensure, program certification,
additional educational endorsements, or advanced
degrees.
Boundless Enrollment Growth for Institutions
VESi enjoys one of the largest college and university
partnership lists in the entire country. Our 23
education courses allow institutions to select
a group of computer-based
instruction courses that will meet their exact
needs without having to hire additional faculty
to teach these high quality educational courses.
VESi's computer-based instruction courses are also
designed in such a way that an institution does not
need to limit the number of enrollments or students
registered in a class per term. Some of our partner
institutions have registered over 200 students per
course in a single term without additional faculty
or expense.
Institutions that have partnered with VESi on the
development of asynchronous or blended certificate
or degree programs have doubled enrollment caps for
these courses, which has doubled course revenue while
decreasing the per hour time faculty spend overseeing/teaching
these blended courses.
VESi has been helping institutions increase both
matriculated and non-matriculated enrollments and
increase revenue while decreasing indirect expenses,
faculty contact hours, classroom space needs, and
the need for other on-campus ancillary services.
