UNL Extension is pleased to announce the release of Extension TV. This product, unique among Extension systems in the US, is an example of the leadership of our system’s efforts to launch Extension into the second 100 years. Extension TV brings together video from registered YouTube, Vimeo, and UNL Streaming accounts on a website optimized for desktop and mobile devices.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Educators
faculty are producing valuable resources on video websites like YouTube
and Vimeo. However, multiple locations and accounts can make it
challenging to find and aggregate video-based information to answer the
questions of our clientele.
Extension TV (http://extensiontv.unl.edu) includes features that will search several video websites for UNL Extension videos, bring them together at Extension TV, and provide faculty, staff and clientele with access to our video resources in an easily searchable web site by category, popularity, and latest content. During live events a featured streaming area will appear while the event is happening providing faculty with a very simple method of inviting clientele to our latest web delivered education. Many pages offer related videos and the search is optimized to quickly find content. Extension TV makes it easy to find and browse video from registered UNL Extension faculty, staff, and teams.
Please join us on Monday August 19th at 3:30 to explore valuable resources offered by UNL Extension on Extension TV and how you can utilize them in your outreach efforts. The live webinar can be viewed by going to extensiontv.unl.edu or extensiontv.org. For those unable to attend, an archive of the presentation will be sent out to this list serve following the event. Learn how you can insure that your video products are automatically being found by Extension TV as well as how you use this new resource to answer the questions of our clientele. Please contact Brandon Schulte at 402-472-2990 with any questions.
