Education and Knowledge Diffusion  Education is one of the key factors to effective knowledge diffusion  In agriculture, extension agents/workers play a key role in the diffusion of agricultural knowledge  Continuous professional development and training of extension agents/workers enables them to be effective in the diffusion of that knowledge

Education/Training of Extension Agents  Professional development and training of extension agents/workers require a well planned curriculum and a set of courses  Courses are delivered through face to face and online modes as well as a mix of both  Each has its own advantages and challenges  Online: practical, convenient, flexible, anytime, anywhere, more time to digest course content – impersonal, time- consuming, lack of support

Curriculum - Defined A curriculum:  is a document or plan that exists in a school or instructional setting  defines the work of instructors or trainers or teachers  identifies the content to be delivered to students using a set of instructional methods, and  its main purpose is to achieve student learning goals and objectives Needs of students The content Instructional methods

Learning Management System LMS is the framework that handles all aspects of the learning process. An LMS is the infrastructure that delivers and manages instructional content, identifies and assesses individual and organizational learning or training goals, tracks the progress towards meeting those goals, and collects and presents data for supervising the learning process of an organization as a whole. Watson, W.R., & Watson, S.L. (2007). An argument for clarity: What are Learning management systems, what are they not, and what should they become? TechTrends, 51(2) 28 – 34.
