MSU Extension has been offering our Master Gardener program via the internet using our Adobe Connect system for the past two years. We will discuss how we implemented the program to best deliver class content to students across the state of Montana. We will discuss some of the challenges we had in broadcasting from remote locations and how we addressed those issues, and what methods worked best for communication between sites. </dd></dl> <p>Our Master Gardener students have all agreed that this was a great way to participate in the program, and would recommend this avenue of program delivery to others. We have also seen an increase in not only the numbers participating in the program, but also those that are able successfully complete it. We will also take some time for others to share their success stories in this type of program delivery. <br /> <b>Led By:</b> Jay Van Voast, Information Systems Analyst - Web Developer, Montana State University Extension <br /> Millie Veltkamp <br /> </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 57/1000000 Post-expand include size: 1472/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 1193/2097152 bytes Expensive parser function count: 0/100 --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key itwiki:pcache:idhash:2788-0!1!0!!en!2!edit=0 and timestamp 20091121155657 -->
