EDmin.com's Internet-based product, the Virtual EDucation System®, was nominated because of the impact the product has had on K-12 education in the areas of accountability and assessment. Virtual EDucation®'s robust data reporting capabilities support school districts' efforts to comply with the recently passed No Child Left Behind legislation's reporting mandates. The new legislation requires school districts to report on student performance across the district, from each school site, for every classroom, and for each child.
Virtual EDucation® is a standards-based, learning management system that helps accelerate student learning by providing teachers and administrators with timely information that identifies learning gaps and areas requiring immediate intervention. The system allows school districts to identify what works for each student over time and at what cost. Virtual EDucation® automates assessment and analysis of student performance over multiple years, identifies students requiring additional assistance and helps educators develop effective intervention strategies. It also allows for multiple modes of measurement (including the use of digital portfolios) and facilitates the development and sharing of best practices and best resources.
Accessible through any standard Web browser, Virtual EDucation's twelve tightly integrated modules work together to enhance student evaluation and achievement, and to facilitate communication between administrators, teachers, students, parents and the community. The system's open architecture supports the alignment of curriculum and assessments with state standards and district curriculum frameworks.
