Learning and Networking Platform for CES
Why are these important? A co-learning environment is needed for CES to be a system response for national issues that make impact at the local level.. Networking, sharing information through educational offerings (webinars, blog posts) and learning in groups of similar interest advance the development of content, curriculum and processes for CES to utilize across the nation. ● Connect Extension is a co-learning environment that adapts existing Extension technology to expand professional development opportunities to all Land Grant Universities, NTAE partners, and their constituents. Connect Extension was implemented in Year One and is powered by a commercial tool called Crowdstack. The main features include the Learn Calendar for Cooperative Extension to advertise online events to the public, a blog for amplifying the reach of Cooperative Extension professionals, and subgroups (NTAE project groups) for Cooperative Extension to collaborate internally. In the 1st quarter of year 3 new subgroups were created for Broadband Access and Digital Literacy, Tourism/Recreation/Hospitality. Additionally, the creation of a new Publication database for NTAE Projects within Connect Extension.
