Abstract: The University of Kentucky, Cooperative Extension Service grant application
proposes equipping five rural county Cooperative Extension Service offices and the UK Wood
Utilization Center, located in rural communities of Kentucky, with a distance learning system and
on-demand educational network that incorporates multiple new technologies and learning
interactions. The overall grant proposal is $143,077 of which the University of Kentucky,
Cooperative Extension Service can provide $52,000 cash match with $91,077 requested by the
DLT grant application. The funds would provide for two-way interactive distance learning
videoconferencing, multicast streaming video, web collaboration software, broadcasting,
distance learning archives, and on-demand educational opportunities. The grant would provide
distance learning equipment for county Extension offices in the counties of Knox, Leslie, Ohio,
Russell, Trimble, and the UK Wood Utilization Center in Jackson, Kentucky. These sites would
serve as both hubs and end user sites and would link to existing videoconferencing sites across
the state including the CenterNet2 (Center for Rural Development) system, Kentucky
Postsecondary Education Network, Kentucky Education Television, University of Kentucky
Research and Education Center, Kentucky State University and three county Extension offices
located in Catlettsburg, Elizabethtown and Benton.
