Educational Contacts

Record the number of educational contacts (duplicated count) made through your project’s different modes of educational delivery. You will see four types of project delivery: Meetings, Webinars, Websites and Online Courses. Your project may not use all of these methods of delivery. Record educational contacts only for delivery methods used in your project. A tabbed menu allows you to access each section. 

If your project has extended its reach through materials posted online and you have analytics identifying their utilization, please include that information in either the “Project Summary” or the “Project Reflections – Unexpected Outcomes” sections of your report.
