Learn is also your entry point to eXtension's On-Line Campus, a collection on-line learning experiences, many developed in the Moodle environment. For example, if you are interested in beef production, you can enroll in Dr. Rick Rasby's Beef Cattle Production or Dr. Floron Faries' Beef Health Herd Management Calendar or the close to 200 other course offerings.
