Target Audience

The selected audience for this session will be any attendees who are wanting to increase their digital education presence. The attendees do not need any previous technology background, just the understanding of their current educational platforms and the goals they want to achieve.

Session Description

The mission of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES) is to educate Alabamians in an effort to improve their quality of life and economic well-being. For decades, ACES has achieved this goal through informative printed publications and in-person workshops.  Over the past two years, ACES has been developing new digital formats to improve the quality of the educational material and reach larger audiences. These new formats include iBooks, ePubs, mobile applications, and online courses. 
Developing these formats from the traditional pedagogy approaches brought unique challenges, but through careful planning and trial and error, we found a solution. This solution includes: developing learning objectives for each platform, designs that enhances the user experience, visual graphics that contribute to the learning process, and support material to aide in the learning process. 
Join us as we discuss the development process of creating educational material for a digital future.
