CyberExtension is a managed virtual learning environment built by Right Reason Technologies (RRT) that is designed to be used as an online extension of a school district in the USA.
Liaison responsibilities include training staff and students, helping teachers enter coursework, and assisting in day-to-day running of the system.
CyberExtension developed from a successful distance learning experiment, the Virtual Education Academy (VEA), which was funded from a Federal Grant sponsored by East Stroudsburg University for the creation and deployment of a distance learning platform aimed primarily at the homebound student population.
[4] VEA beta-testing ran in three school districts from September 2003 to June 2004.
Subsequent enhancements included content creation tools, gradebooks, chat, internal email, calendar, and the addition of on-site support staff liaisons from RRT to assist with the day-to-day operations.
