Educational Systems Programming, or ESP, is a not-for-profit organization engaged in distance learning and cyberspace entrepreneurial activities at Northern Arizona University. ESP began its work in 1990 with the creation of educational and training programs in a variety of electronic media. At that time, ESP delivered the Elementary Spanish programs via live C-band satellite broadcast. In 1997 ESP migrated its materials on videotape for sale to schools nationwide. With the turn of the century, ESP offered similar products to home school students by broadcasting on satellite television with the DISH Network on the Universityhouse® Channel (channel 9411). Since its inception, ESP has widened its range of educational products, and is constantly producing new programs, including the Beginning Tai Chi with Patrick Martin and the educación española series.
