Educational Media and Communications Support

Plan Goal

To develop educational media in support of state specialists' educational and outreach goals. Media may include video, multimedia programs, games and print materials.

Situation Statement

NMSU Extension faculty need educational media to support their educational and outreach goals. Instructional design techniques will be applied to develop appropriate media, including but not limited to video, multimedia programs, games and print materials.

Target Audience and Actions

The target audience for this plan of work is Extension Faculty and working in partnership with them to develop strong educational programs for NMSU's outreach to a state-wide audience.
Actions currently underway include increasing accessibility of Extension media production resources to a campus-wide audience. Current media production capabilities include print, video (broadcast and DVD/VHS), web and game-based delivery. Ongoing progress towards new video streaming and podcasting capabilities as well as continued game development and enhancements to web-driven content management systems will enhance production and delivery capabilities of faculty in reaching their clientele.

2. Needs will be assessed annually for continued media development through targeted Extension teams around 4 key areas as identified by the director.

Medium-Term Objectives

2. Medium term educational media production, such as those projects taking 1-2 years to develop, will be developed.

Long-Term Objectives
