Using Webcasts to Create a Learning Community


Gwyn Heyboer - Posted on 19 March 2009

My Horse University (MHU) along with experts from eXtension HorseQuest offer free monthly webcasts from September through May in order to reach out to the equine industry and create a learning community. The live webcast topics include areas such as farm management, horse health, nutrition and environmental issues. All of the webcasts are recorded and made freely available on the MHU web site for viewing after the live event. In addition, the archived webcasts are used within non-credit and credit online courses to add depth to the learning experiences. Since January of 2007, MHU and eXtension have offered 17 free webcasts with approximately 600 people in attendance.

The objectives of the free monthly webcast series are to:

  • Educate horse enthusiasts through offering science-based information.
  • Provide an avenue of communication allowing for better agricultural practices.
  • Offer educational opportunities for youth programs.
  • Provide educational resources that promote better horse care, environmental stewardship and recreation.
  • Repurpose content for online courses.
