Examples of Recent Projects

The following is a list of recent projects completed or in-progress.  This is just for illustrative purposes; your custom web-application may or may not be on this example list.  It is also quite possible that your web-based application may actually be a combination of two or more of the following examples.  Contact a VESC™ representative to discuss your specific needs, and how a custom web-application may be able to assist in meeting your goals. 

Examples of some recent projects:

• Teacher Recruitment Website: Custom website for the recruitment of new teachers to a large urban school district.  Site was designed to allow potential new teachers to complete all application material on-line, ask questions on-line, and view application status on-line.  Administrator controls allowed for the automation of almost all aspects of the application and hire process.

• Scholarship Eligibility and Applications for School Staff: Comprehensive website allowing district teachers to apply for scholarship and loan forgiveness grants over the web.  The system allows for district administrators to “upload” staff data, i.e., years on job, current certifications, degrees, etc to the website.  Staff members can then check their eligibility based on the uploaded district data.  If the staff member is eligible, the staff member can then make the application on-line, and check back for application status.

• District-wide Paperless Form System: Administrators at a medium sized district had hit their limit as to the amount of paperwork exchanged inside district office and between the district schools.  VESC™ assisted in merging and reorganizing all the documents that were continually exchanged between the schools.  Once organized, the forums were created using a web-based application allowing district and school administrators to up-date and access the information from any web-browser, 24 hours a day.  The system has drastically reduced costs, reduced redundancy, increased productivity, and eased administrator duties.

• Special Education Professional Development Course System: Professional development system that allows a special education district of over 30 schools to manage the professional development of over 500 teachers.  This system was customized using the VESC™ Staff and Course On-Line Professional Development Management System (more information: http://vesc-education.com/pdm/).

• Student Chat Room with Visible Student Moderator and Invisible Staff Moderator: Provide a chat room for over 400 students from 3pm to 10pm each night, while a moderator (teacher from the school) watched over the chat invisibly.  Chat room was linked directly from school website to VESC™ Education chat server.  All transcripts of chats are saved for future reference.

• Web-Based Course Delivery System: Installed open-source on-line course delivery system for school system.  System allows teachers to input all course information, assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. into the system.  Students can then login to the system and work through the curriculum.  Chat system and forums were included to create a comprehensive on-line learning environment.  (For more information about VESC™ Chat and Forum solutions, please visit: http://vesc-education.com/3in1.  Also visit VESC™’s interactive professional development courses, which utilizes similar on-line educational delivery technology, http://vesc-education.com/edchallenge).

• Central Repository for Vocational Training Material: Created a customized website for medium size school district to store and organize vocational training materials.  Vocational training materials that needed to be stored and distributed throughout the district included DVD/VHS videos, audiocassettes, digital books, links, and other multimedia.

• Paraprofessional Schedule System: Small school system needed a calendar system to schedule all para-professionals on a day-by-day, week-by-week, or month-to-month basis.  All paraprofessionals are able to login to the district website to view/print their schedule.  Any changes made to the paraprofessionals schedule are automatically emailed and sent by Instant Message to the paraprofessionals mobile phone.   Administrators can print full month calendars of paraprofessional schedules for easy visual reference.  System will be upgraded in the future to allow paraprofessionals to enter their timecards and overtime.

• OnLine Application System for Disctrict/School Support Personnel: Medium sized school needed electronic method to accept, organize, and process application for support staff, i.e., janitorial, secretarial, and other assistant-administrative positions.  Web site was set up that allowed potential applicants to learn more about the position, and then apply, if qualified.  School administrators were able to use the system to process the application – from background checks, to employment verification, to reference interviews.  The system provides administrators with a central database to store and analyze all information concerning an applicant before making a decision.
