Food Preservation – Boiling Water Bath Canning
Food preservation at home, particularly home canning, continues to be a popular activity allowing families to extend limited resources and regain control of financial expenses while still maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet. This project furthers the reach of extension educators, ensuring that current, tested, and safe canning procedures are readily available to the public and helps to counter the unfortunately large mass of existing internet resources that provide questionable, outdated, and generally unsafe recommendations.
Digital Agriculture – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The importance of UAVs in both large and small agricultural operations has substantially increased in recent years. It is vital that upcoming youth in agriculture and the sciences become familiar with the operation of and potential uses for UAVs in the broader agricultural landscape. This introductory module serves as a prequel to later, more detailed modules targeted to UAV operations by high school learners.
Digital Agriculture and Me
Agriculture continues to play a substantial and increasingly important role in human society around the globe. It is vital that upcoming youth understand and develop an appreciation for agriculture and its role in solving problems of global interests. The goal is to enhance interest in agriculture in parallel with the sciences in developing learners. This introductory module was meant to serve as a prequel to all of the subsequent digital agriculture topics targeting higher grade levels..
Where Does Your Money Go?
Where Does Your Money Go? is a financial capability program designed to help consumers better understand how they spend their money, including having participants discover their “spending leaks”, identify their financial priorities, and then make a spending plan tailored to their financial needs and designed to achieve their personal goals..
Digital Agriculture – You Got an App for That?
This was a project targeting 6th grade 4-H youth interested in learning about the role of digital (i.e., smartphone) apps in agriculture. It is part of an overall larger Digital Agriculture project. This module is quite extensive, and introduces a number of topics related to plant science in agriculture.
Promoting Science Worldviews
This project worked to enhance undergraduate awareness of intercultural issues relevant to their life and studies in and beyond the university setting. It resulted in a standalone learning module targeting multicultural issues related to work and education in science, meant to improve learners’ intercultural perspectives. It focused primarily on learners enrolled in science and agriculture. Part of a larger effort to promote multicultural growth on campus.
Forest Measurement Techniques – Tree Heights
Field forestry labs require numerous time-consuming hands-on activities. In-person course time is limited however and due to conflicts, and not all learners may be available during a given session. This project created a supplemental, self-directed, asynchronous eLearning module preparing learners to engage in the field measurement of forest tree heights during a university forestry laboratory course.
Gingrich Stocking Charts
This was an exploratory project used to test and evaluate an implementation of the Adapt Learning Authoring Tool. Adapt Learning is an open-source e-learning project that creates customizable web-based learning modules similar to Articulate Rise. It is free and the authoring tool makes it quite easy to use, but installation and customization of project outputs is a bit technical.
