USDA to Mix Social Media into Online Training
One of the leading online training programs in the federal sector has an interesting idea to improve the completion rate and overall quality of its online courses. The USDA’s AgLearn program has plans to install social media and “Facebook-style” aspects to their training program in order to provide a more traditional classroom structure to the emerging world of online training. Some of these aspects include blogs, wikis, groups, and comment/user tracking.
OhMyGov recently spoke with Stanley Gray, the USDA’s director of e-training, about this new idea and how it is coming along.
