A USDA Higher Education
Challenge Grant has supported the development of an instrument that
consists of a WebCT repository of greenhouse educational materials, five
new learning-centered interactive modules, and compilation CD. This
collection will address important greenhouse topics including energy
conservation, environmental safety, food produce safety, labor efficiency,
and manipulation of plant responses in controlled environments.
Additionally, the Co-PIs are from four distinct production regions
allowing topics to be addressed in a manner covering the scope of firms
nationwide from the part-time family run greenhouse to the largest
corporate owned ranges. Graduate Students
accessing these materials will have a better understanding of greenhouse
science and local, regional, national, and international
competition.
