Where To Start

Our mission at EdTek is to partner with smaller education providers to enhance their academic programs.  This could mean adding supplements to classroom-based courses or developing rich and engaging hybrid or fully online distance education programs.  We enable our education partners by providing access to the best online learning platforms and support services on the market at a price they can afford.

Experience

It has been more than a decade since the first pioneers started experimenting with rudimentary eLearning tools.  Despite the huge advances we have made with eLearning technology and services most of the smaller education providers are still having problems developing a successful program.

The big difference with online learning from even five years ago is that we now have a lot more experienced people around who can help you make the right decisions when you plan and implement your own programs.  At EdTek Services we have assembled a hand-picked team of experienced eLearning consultants to do exactly that.  We specialize in providing small career schools, colleges, universities, non-profit organizations, K12 schools and small to medium size businesses.

Our people know that building and supporting top-quality distance learning program can be a very expensive proposition for smaller education providers.  We know this because most of us at EdTek Services came from small organizations where we shared your concerns about how to enter and succeed in the eLearning market AND keep the budget under control.

Full Service, Turnkey Online Learning Platforms

EdTek has partnered with it's learning and other education industry leaders to offer a full service, turn-key approach to distance learning systems and support.  We provide your custom campus portal, the learning management system, the hosting (hardware), IT staff to do system monitoring and maintenance, free upgrades to the learning management platform, instructor training and course development support, a 24/7 Help Desk for students and faculty and a dedicated Client Service Consultant to help your staff run your distance learning programs.

This approach enables you to avoid the expensive upfront investment needed to build your own mini-datacenter and the ongoing cost of maintaining your distance learning platform.  When you partner with EdTek Services your organization will be utilizing the very same package of technology products and support services as many of the largest and most successful education providers in the market.

Shared Services Model

EdTek's "shared services" model works to split the cost of our premier eLearning solutions among a constantly growing group of education providers.  This shared services or shared cost approach enables even the smallest education provider to afford one of the best learning management systems and support packages available in the market today.

A Sensible Pricing Plan

Our annual or pay-as-you-go pricing models ensure that our education partners never pay for more services than they actually need or use. A big part of your costs will be directly to the volume of enrollments you achieve. With this pricing model our education partners can draw a very tight box around their financial risk and better predict their future costs. EdTek's pay-as-you-go pricing model also helps keep our company highly focused on the success of your programs. Here's how: If you don't enroll students in your programs then EdTek doesn't get paid. We can't think of a better way to get and keep our attention focused on your success.

Program Approval and Accreditation Consulting

Your institution's successful accreditation application is an important step on the way to building a successful school.

Enrollment Marketing and Admissions

Colleges and universities need to start thinking about the changing landscape and challenges facing higher education in the next decade and develop plans to address the significant shifts taking place. The old way of doing enrollment marketing won't suffice. Education leaders are going to have to adopt comprehensive marketing and admissions optimization processes to help their institution navigate the changing education landscape, grow enrollment and improve retention. This will require that they develop a customized approach to blend the best of for-profit and non-profit enrollment processes.

Hosted Learning Management System

EdTek provide the hardware (hosting), system monitoring and maintenance (IT staff), unlimited scalability (for growth), a custom online campus, the learning management system (eLearning software) and annual upgrades (free), faculty training, a 24/7 Help Desk for your students and instructors and a Client Service Consultant to help your administrators run their online program.

ePortfolios for Student Assessment

Faculty Recruitment and Training

A competent and engaging teaching staff is critical for a schools success. EdTek's experienced consultants will help you recruit, train and even supervise the teaching staff you need to be successful. EdTek offers programs to train both newly hired and seasoned instructors. Whether you need face-to-face workshops, one-on-one meetings or self-paced tutorials EdTek consultants are available to ensure your teaching staff is ready to use the best eLearning software on the market and implement the best practices in online learning.

Instructional Design and Course Development

EdTek Services can provide you with experienced and professional online course development support for as long as you need it. Our online course development team consists of project managers, instructional designers, course and multimedia developers and iSupport consultants. These specialists work closely with your subject matter experts to ensure you get a course that is pedagogically sound, engaging for the instructor and students, easy to navigate and reflects the way your institution wants to teach and be presented to general public.
