NextEd (NextEd.com) was founded in 1998 as a multinational provider of web-based hosting and delivery services for the "education marketplace." It sought to partner with educational service providers based mainly in North America, the UK and Australia, to develop and market web-based courses to students around the world. Over time, its focus shifted to hosting and delivery.

As of April 2000, NextEd boasted agreements with 12 universities in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK and the US. Over 2,600 students from 21 countries were enrolled in 200 courses "hosted" by NextEd. NextEd's target market was Asian higher education. Investors in the Company included Fidelity Ventures, GE Equity, SCMP.com and Whitney & Co.

NextEd had local offices in the US, Australia, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia, and eventually had partnerships with 25 higher education institutions and commercial training providers worldwide.

The NextEd web site, formerly at http://nexted.com, is now defunct.
