About the Webinar
Digital technologies such as mobile and Internet of Things platforms, social media, podcasts, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence have become part of everyday life in the 21st century. Opportunities abound for nutrition educators to leverage cutting-edge technologies to meet our audiences where they are - expanding our reach, enhance our programs, and improve how we gather and disseminate nutrition information.
During this webinar, we will review emerging technologies, including machine learning, cloud computing, augmented and virtual reality, geographic information systems (GIS), and voice tech. We will present a number of examples of how these emerging technologies are being used in nutrition education as well as novel applications of more established technologies, including mHealth apps and podcasting. There will be a Q&A for participants.
This webinar is sponsored by the Digital Technology Division.
