Broadening Extension Impact by Diversifying Course Modalities

REGISTER HERE


The Extension Service is arguably one of the greatest concepts for adult and youth, non-formal education. The educational model places university educators in local communities to address local needs by conducting non-formal, public education. Since the turn of the century, a combination of entrepreneurialism, technological advances, and the internet have paved the way for multiple actors to join and influence public education.  How can we, as extension educators, take advantage of the latest technological and educational advancements to reach broader and more diverse audiences with extension programming—and broaden impact?

The upcoming webinar will highlight an Oregon State University Extension Service Google Earth Pro Pilot, which was developed as an online course after eXtension New Technologies in Agricultural Extension Fellowship.  The process that pushed the progression from f2f, to hybrid, and then to online is transferable to nearly all extension programs and can serve as a model for extension educators to consider broadening extension impact.

In this webinar, participants will...

  • Identify opportunities and challenges when developing extension courses across different modalities (e.g., face-to-face, hybrid, and online)
  • Generate a list of action items needed to transform a face-to-face course to hybrid and/or online

Hosted by Dr Sergio Arispe
