What the literature leaves open

  • For exam- ple, future research could examine whether farmers work- ing with drought resilience, cover-crop experimentation, or reduced-input transitions similarly seek advisory support that helps them interpret changing field conditions rather than simply prescribe a fixed input package.

  • Based on student feedback, it is strongly recommended that students be given instructions on what is expected of them if Hypothesis is going to be used consistently. For example, several students expressed that using Hypothesis could have been improved if the instructor had included expectations for when posts and responses to other students should be completed (i.e., specific and separate due dates), guidelines for what comments should contain, and guiding questions to answer during the reading. Moreover, if it is expected that students need to respond to their peers, Student 2, for example, suggested that having prompts to respond to would help to set boundaries on the comments to ensure that they are relevant to the class and not “on extraneous things that didn't have to do with course content”. From an instructor’s perspective, Hypothesis is easy to implement. The most challenging part was gaining access to Hypothesis through the university’s LMS. Overall, uploading documents into Hypothesis was quite simple, and the Hypothesis website provides a feature to transform PDFs through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to ensure the text was able to be highlighted. Reading through the annotations took less than 30 minutes and was extremely worthwhile based on the positive ways it added to student knowledge and course discussion. While Hypothesis was used during in-person graduate and undergraduate courses for course readings, Hypothesis also has clear connections to any discipline area, as well as asynchronous courses. Other uses of Hypothesis could include journal articles, websites, and videos to allow students to engage with course material in an interactive and personalized manner. We encourage the use of social annotation to deepen student understanding and engagement within agriculture courses.

  • When describing how communication was used (art or science), participants did not demonstrate significant differences in their interpretations. For example, while most participants (n = 18) felt that the Vox article used communication as an art, a similar number of participants (n = 14) felt that the article’s author approached communication as both an art and a science. Two major themes emerged regarding how participants perceived communication as an art and communication as a science in the article: association of communication as an art with the use of emotion and association of communication as a facts. Many of the quotes from science with the use of participants highlight both themes. As such, the results are reported together.

  • Ethics statement The present study assessed the effectiveness of webinars primarily through Levels 1 and 2 of the Kirkpatrick evaluation framework, capturing participants’ satisfaction and perceived learning outcomes. This focus is well suited to large-scale digital learning environments where immediate feedback and learning perceptions are critical indicators of effectiveness. However, it also implies that conclusions regarding subsequent behavioral change and longer-term performance outcomes (Levels 3 and 4) remain beyond the scope of the current analysis. Future research could build on this foundation by adopting longitudinal designs, behavioral observations, or field-level performance measures to examine the sustained impacts of webinar-based learning interventions. In addition, the study relies on self-reported responses, which, while widely accepted in educational and extension research, may be influenced by social desirability or perceptual bias. Subsequent studies may strengthen inference by combining self- reports with objective assessments, pre–post learning tests, or digital engagement data, enabling a more comprehensive and triangulated evaluation of learning outcomes.

  • While future research should explore the long-term impacts of public relations on students’ perceptions of Extension, it is recommended that Extension professionals and agricultural communicators implement public relations activities targeting undergraduate students and use brand advocates, like Extension specialists, to elevate the brand.

  • Socio-cultural issues within our agrifood system such as social inequality, personal and community health, and the environment have been the subject of interdisciplinary inquiry and curriculum from inside and outside of education, but exploration of these topics from within Agriculture Education is lacking.

  • Other areas of CareerTechnical Education (CTE) had content standards, so why not agricultural education? For years, teachers have reported that their administrators felt agricultural education was lacking because it did not have a set of national content standards.

  • (2002) concluded it is believed that contextualized learning holds promise for improving a student's ability to synthesize information from disparate sources, for furthering understanding of new and sometimes contradictory data, for assisting in making meaning, and, ultimately, for enhancing one's ability to think critically and transfer learning to future life experience.
