Presented at the National Extension Technology Conference in 2008, Raleigh, North Carolina. Information posted at http://netc08.ces.ncsu.edu., via online access, 25 slides, Abstract provided by presentors: The University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension has been using Live Classroom to deliver training sessions in an online environment. This has allowed CAES Extension personnel to overcome common training constraints such as: statewide audience, limited travel budgets, rising fuel costs, and time spent away from county offices and local clientele. During this session we will discuss the benefits of conducting Extension trainings online and the challenges of converting face-to-face sessions to an online format. We will also share:
1. the economic savings in terms of travel time, travel dollars and personnel hours gained, as well as
2. the environmental impact of reducing statewide travel.
