Session Name: Connecting MSU Extension Research Across Montana
Session Number: 1018
Location: Bellamy
Day and Time: Monday, 3:30 - 4:15 pm
Format: Presentation
Topic: Web Conferencing
Level: Introductory


Session Abstract:

MSU Extension has recently been challenged to establish a high tech communications network across Montana to facilitate the exchange of research information between MSU Extension researchers and Montana citizens. This project not only provides an avenue to disseminate research based information, but it is also a tool for researchers to use in gathering research information and collaborating with their peers, in Montana and throughout the world.
The basis for this network is our Adobe Connect system, using web conferencing to deliver educational presentaions to Community Learning Centers, Local Access Points and our Mobile Technology Lab. This session will explain each component of our netowrk, and the history behind the project, as well as the unique challenges of program delivery to the rural areas of our large state with only limited resources.
