Abstract

We have designed and managed virtual learning environments that take advantage of emerging technologies in multi-media communication and capitalize on existing data and products from research. Our development, dissemination, and evaluation effort has involved multiple departments; promoted faculty-faculty, faculty-learner, and cross-institutional interaction; and concentrated on improving the quality of distance education offered via electronic media at the University of Minnesota. We showcase how we have worked to extend the land grant mission to varied audiences via virtual learning environments. In each case, we describe the audience addressed, the content delivered, the media used, and our results to date. We conclude with a discussion of critical issues surrounding the design and management of virtual learning environments used to extend the land grant mission.
