Ed-X: Online Education and Distance Learning Search Engine

Description

The idea for a commercial website that gathered in-depth information about online education and distance learning opportunities was conceived in 1997 by a group of university professors, web designers and information technology specialists. There were no online search engines at the time that focused on gathering data about online classes and degree programs as well as continuing education, skills training, and certification programs. There were also few opportunities for online colleges and universities to get their message out to the rest of the world - marketing their programs to potential online learners was a difficult endeavor. Ed-X was seen as an "educational exchange" that would unify online college content with potential learners, wherever they were located in the world.

Ed-X LLC was formally incorporated in Austin, Texas (USA) in 1998. The company is privately held and has strategic development agreements with companies in Holland, Germany, and Great Britain. Ed-X currently hosts the online education content site, Ed-X: The Distance Learning Channel, and has developed software-based products that populate "shell" Learning Management Systems ("LMS") as well as integrate disparate registration and information databases at online colleges into the Ed-X exchange network.

Since the company's inception in 1998, Ed-X has represented numerous universities with distance learning content, online colleges, and private learning content providers. Ed-X has assisted in the marketing of distance learning programs for institutions from around the world including: Connecticut State University, Golden Gate University, Herriott-Watt University (UK), National University, University of Phoenix, Kaplan College, Keller Graduate School of Management, Syracuse University, Regis University, University of Texas, Florida State University, University of North Carolina, University of Wisconsin - Platte, and Murdoch University of Australia.
