An extension educational learning system refers to a dynamic, non-formal system used to develop and implement education programs. This system consists of many complementary and interactive components, wherein each will contribute significantly to the overall success of the total system. Its individual components are the following:
- organisation's mission
- situation analysis
- target audiences
- needs assessment
- program objectives
- content
- learning strategies
- non-formal educational learning system which will include inputs, evaluation and adjustment. Inputs has its own key supporting components which will include experience, reinforcement and integration
There are also other components that are important to the total system. This includes collaboration with learner groups and learner motivation. The continuous and effective collaboration with community and school leaders as well as students is key to the success of any educational learning program. This collaboration can be greatly enhanced through effectively using an extension advisory leadership system.
Collaboration will be the only way for an educator or institution to ensure that students of all groups and skill levels are appropriately targeted and that these educational programs address the needs of these students which are of the highest priority. The absence of such a collaboration may cause the educator or institution to overlook important student groups or opportunities and target only those whom he or she is familiar with and have the immediate capacity to address. Another reason why effective collaboration is important is that individuals are more likely to be motivated and participate willingly in supporting endeavours where they feel a sense of personal ownership.
