Who we are and what we do

Virtical Education specializes in helping institutions develop and maintain quality online courses and programs. We work with colleges, universities and K-12 schools to assess the overall design, delivery, and management of online courses and programs.

Our process involves an overall review of courses and programs looking for key elements that elevate the quality of programs for students and faculty, as well as traits that regional accreditors and federal agencies tend to pick up on when they are on campus for a site visit. Some of the elements we look at are:

Faculty and student interaction
Varied methods of assessment
Learning outcomes
Course and program review processes
Faculty training
Online Student Support Services
Complementary software

When we find issues we make specific recommendations and implement one or both of our training systems. Our C.H.A.L.K. system trains faculty on how to effectively teach online and it trains administrators and department chairs how to manage and evaluate online courses and programs. Our H.E.A.R.T. system trains faculty on how to ensure ADA compliance is being met. What are the ADA compliance requirements and how do you implement them in an online class.

With a successful implementation, clients can expect to see an increase in retention, success rates, student satisfaction, and revenue.

With over 30 years of higher education experience in both 2-year and 4-year institutions working in both traditional education and online education, we are confident that we can help your online college move from fragmented and fractured to functional and effective.
