Artificial Intelligence Systems to Share your Impact: Things that Change Do Not Stay the Same
Abstract
Institutions are challenged with producing impact from their extension, research, and teaching efforts with stakeholders. Many Extension systems now are faced with reporting their impact and the extent the impact aligns with the institutional goals. The goal of this session is to communicate strategies to attendees in being more responsive in providing metrics and impact assessments to internal and external stakeholders based on what tools exist. The educational importance of this session is the necessity to utilize numbers generated through systems (ORCHID, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, etc.) to prove and communicate our impact both internally and externally. Adopting and diffusing contemporary analytical tools of one’s extension, research, and teaching impacts are critical for the vitality and sustainability of our profession. If you are not in the measuring your impact game, you are throwing dice in a dark closet. No one, not even you, know the results. There are many strong collaborations exist in the natural sciences, however, collaborations in the social sciences are rare. The benefits and expected impacts of Extension systems increased metrics for their institutions are new linkages with scientists from other world-class universities. Additionally, a benefit to Extension systems is the attainment of the institution’s strategic plan thereby, enhancing Extension’s visibility in the broader organization and specifically on improving stakeholder diversity, equity, inclusion, and access to extension programs. Presenters will share fundamental strategies to get started, report international agricultural and extension education impact metrics, and 21st century artificial intelligence communication strategies to provide impactful results to stakeholders faster.
