Instructional Support provides creative and technical support for ACES' formal and informal teaching activities through the following subteams:

  • Educational Publishing
  • Distance Learning Office/Latitude Bridge Services

Our clients include College of ACES faculty and staff; agricultural educators for students kindergarten through adult (nationwide, but primarily Illinois); agribusiness (nationwide); and others.

Among our services:

  • Provide distance learning support
  • Provide agricultural instructional materials for kindergarten through adult students, based upon audience needs
  • Support educational activities related to the mission of ACES, including supervision and coordination of on-campus agricultural competitions and awards programs for Illinois public school students

ITCS Educational Publishing is the one-stop contact point for ACES and U of I Extension clients with publication production needs. Materials ranging from brochures to educational handbooks to multi-component projects can be published in printed form, on CD, and on the Web.

Conversations with clients determine the range of services required for any given project. Some publications require only one or two ITCS services. Others draw on our full range of capabilities, including audience analysis and concept development, project management, writing, editing, graphic design, proofreading, electronic publishing, printing coordination, marketing, and distribution. We can coordinate publishing projects from start to finish and bring together the full range of services needed.

Distance Learning Office/Latitude Bridge Services provides access to the Latitude conferencing services at no charge for Extension, $12 per hour per line for ACES staff, $12 per hour per line for University of Illinois units, $15 per hour per line for university cooperating agencies, and $19 per hour per line for commercial customers. Satellite conferences can be taped at $25 per videotape. Two-way radios and public address equipment are available for free short-term loan.
