MVU is seeking leading providers of online K-12 education in beginning- through advanced-level instruction in the content areas of Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science and Social Studies for online high school and middle school students. MVU invites vendors to submit a proposal that meets the criteria established in its Online Course Content for Secondary Education Request for Information.

MVU recognizes the valuable contribution to online learning made by many companies and organizations and wishes to work with content providers in partnership to provide Michigan students with high quality learning experiences. Interest providers will find detailed information in the Request for Information (RFI).

As stated in the RFI, “MVU seeks proposals from all vendors who offer highly interactive, engaging online courses, who are willing to provide detailed information about their courses and content, delivery methods, with licensing terms that are compatible with MVU’s requirements.”

MVU staff knowledgeable about the RFI requirements will make the award selection recommendation to MVU management. The staff will involve a team of external reviewers to evaluate the online courses.

The submission process for this RFI consists of a notification of interest email and the formal submission of a proposal. Vendors interested in submitting a proposal must notify MVU of their intention by Jan. 31, 2010.
