James F. Evans Collection, Cooperative Extension was established as an educational and problem-solving institution in 1914. Since that time, the tools of instructional technology have changed substantially. Cooperative Extension needs to use current and emerging technologies that will permit it to operate in an efficient and effective manner. The computer is a technological tool that offers many opportunities for improving the delivery of Extension programs. The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Penn State is exploring several ways of using computers to enhance Extension programs in water quality. This article describes four applications of computer technology designed to address the information-age needs of Extension agents and clientele. (author)
