Instructional Material Needs Assessment of Pacific Land Grant Institutions

Abstract

The primary objective of the Agriculture Instructional Materials Service (AIMS) is to coordinate the production, packaging for multiple uses, and distribution of targeted instructional materials for Pacific Land Grant institutions. The first issue confronting AIMS at the start of its plan of work was how to determine the instructional materials topics and subtopics of greatest need in the ADAP region. Second was the identification of detailed characteristics for these materials including; goals, learning outcomes, types of media, and end users of the product. The research reported here examines the regional responses from a two part methodology implemented to clarify these points.
