Using the eXtension Campus for Extension Education

The eXtension Foundation offers employees of its member institutions the free use of its online course system, campus.extension.org, for the delivery and possibly sale of courses to their clientele. This happens through a package of two integrated sites, Campus (a Moodle 3.7+ platform) and Catalog, a store front facilitating fee-based access to courses on Campus. This service has been in place since 2007 during which some 234,000 users have accessed 1,800 course offerings. Currently the site offers 435 courses.

This Zoom meeting will provide an overview of Campus to include how Extension educators can gain access to the platform and begin to develop course content for delivery to their clientele. A second Zoom meeting on April 8, 2020 will cover some of the more active components of Moodle, to include quizzes, assignments, forums, chat rooms, lessons, and others.
A recording of this event is available at https://vimeo.com/402985435

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
