James F. Evans Collection, Mimeographed, 1994. 5 p. Paper presented at the International Agricultural Communicators in Education Conference, Moscow, ID/Pullman, WA, July 16-20, 1994.
James F. Evans Collection, This article summarizes the results of a video technology survey in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia. Faculty perceptions and use of alternative video systems are presented. Impacts of video technology on faculty activities and productivity are examined. Faculty adoption of video technology are described in a human capital framework. The study found that enhanced video technology would increase faculty productivity, involve more faculty in teaching activities, reduce travel time and costs, and improve communications within in the college. Strategies for developing enhanced video communications are discussed. (original)
James F. Evans Collection, Research and extension program priorities of land-grant colleges of agriculture have received considerable attention over the past several decades. In contrast, undergraduate education has received comparatively little attention. However, this may be changing. Negative publicity about declining undergraduate enrollments and stressed budgets for agricultural college teaching programs at some institutions are leading some deans and faculties alike to examine their undergraduate programs and consider how curricula and courses can better meet student and employer needs. Unless this is done, research and extension programs, as well as teaching programs, will be adversely affected. (original)

James F. Evans Collection, The purpose of this paper is to cause teachers, students, public officials and others in International Agricultural to contemplate how the use of so-called derogatory adjectives portrays judgement and negativism upon other nations and societies creating harm for future relations.

search through journal, This study examined the daily influences that affected the behavior of agricultural communications personnel as professional communicators. If focused on the conditions that the employees perceived as influencing their behavior and how these phenomena related to the total communications process of the department. The researcher used Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method of qualitative research. The findings of this study suggest that changing organizational needs are affecting the professional behavior of communications personnel. The relationship between agricultural communications departments and their clientele, both internal and external, is changing because of budget-slashing priorities common throughout institutions of higher education.
