Dear Friends,

Agripedia - Internet Accessible Interactive Multimedia Instructional
Resource


Agripedia (http://www.ca.uky.edu/agripedia/) is developed by the University
of Kentucky's College of Agriculture created with a USDA Higher Education
Program Grant. Agripedia has been created to allow students to use resources
across the country in an integrated, interactive learning resource on the
Internet. As an "encyclopedia of agriculture", Agripedia presents facts,
figures, demonstrations, examples, graphics, and more regarding the
concepts, practices, and vocabulary of agriculture in a multimedia format
using audio clips, graphics, text and animation.

Important features of Agripedia are,

1. A "general encyclopedia" of agricultural information with a glossary of
words and pictures and video to assist students in the learning process.
2. A centralized location for access to other Internet agricultural web
sites/links.
3. A centralized starting point for all web site-related class materials
within the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.

Agripedia is an innovative application of emerging technologies being used
to meet some the challenges of education today.

Thanking You,

Dinesh
