Abstract

Expert systems offer potential as important additions to the current methods used to deliver extension programming to clients. This paper discusses the design of such systems from the viewpoint of learning theory and assesses the cost effectiveness, relative to standard extension programming approaches, of a sample system developed for use with/by cattle ranchers. Results indicate that hybrid expert systems have greater educational impact than traditional programming methods and are more cost effective.
