HOW TO START

AgriLife Digital Education works with clients on products and services throughout the year.

For educational product development, there are critical processes occurring at scheduled stages throughout the year. These include:

  • Submission windows
  • Requirements gathering
  • Scheduling
  • Capacity assessments

Please follow the process outlined below.

For Canvas-related services, please email: ade@ag.tamu.edu

Step 1:  Product Idea and Content Development

Product Idea

When you have an idea for a collaboration with AgriLife Digital Education, discuss it with your unit’s leadership and ensure the product aligns with their educational and business-driven goals.

Content Development

Begin compiling content for your product. The AgriLife Digital Education team will begin working on products with complete content first. View the videos below to learn more about our content readiness standards:

Step 2:  Submit a Product or Service Request

If you have completed all the parts of Step 1, you are now ready to submit a product or service request.

Submission does not guarantee receipt of AgriLife Digital Education products or services. Requests will be evaluated and approved during the Capacity Assessment (see Step 3).

Be sure to note time-sensitive requests in the form. Digital Education may reach out to your leadership to alter existing project timelines from your unit in order to accommodate an expedited request.

If your product is approved to move forward during the capacity assessment, an educational product specialist from AgriLife Digital Education will reach out to you to begin product development.
