Abstract:
College of agriculture teaching faculty are being called upon more often to teach their courses through distance education technologies, but research that allows prescription of successful strategies has been very limited. This paper captures effective teaching strategies from the experiences of agricultural distance educators. Forty-one strategies are organized under Gagne and Briggs' (1974) nine functions of instructional events. Readers of this article are encouraged to review the list of strategies to determine if any of the items could be put to immediate use in their own distance learning courses. In addition, we believe the list of strategies may serve as a stimulus for new ideas that will work in the reader's own situation.
