Trends and Issues in Extension

Yesterday I attended an anniversary showcase for OSU’s Digital Union. It was a type of electronic poster session to highlight initiatives that use technology to enhance the learning and research environment. I left with a large stack of handouts. As I weed through them in the coming weeks, I’ll share ideas and resources that have a connection to Extension. I had some really interesting exchanges about what Extension is and how we could use the tools being showcased. Most presenters were really interested in our system and how their tools could be used in a spatially distributed system like Extension. It was really refreshing to see an interest in the type of scholarship practiced in Extension. More postings later, but feel free to check the link above for more information.
