Welcome to extOL!

UT Extension Online Learning is a group of web sites that deliver professional development programs (the extOL Workforce Learning site) and quality Extension programming (the extOL Certifications site). These two sites serve our outreach and program delivery needs, and equip our Tennessee Extension professionals with the learning required to excel.

To remain effective in the mission of Extension, we've come up with some innovative ways to deliver programming to Tennesseans and the workforce that makes up the UT and TSU Cooperative Extension Service.

This group of extOL web sites includes:

• extOL Certifications
• extOL Workforce Learning
• extOL People

UT Extension has already certified (or re-certified) 94 private applicators in the Pesticide Safety Education Program through online delivery of the program, seeing an average gain of twenty-five percentile points in test scores.

And yes—extOL keeps up with all of these test scores so your county Extension agent can do more important things—like serving their local communities in the areas of agriculture, nutrition, family, 4-H and economic development!

extOL is meant to be YOUR learning portal for online professional development training and program delivery to clientele. The system was created with one key idea in mind:

To serve our Tennessee clientele's outreach and program delivery needs, and equip our Tennessee Extension professionals with the learning required to excel in their work.

extOL is 24/7 learning for Tennessee Extension and the people we serve!
