ASFMRA: Advancing Hybrid Education for Rural Pros

By Andrew Eames, Marketing & Communications Manager ASFMRA

The ASFMRA is transforming education for rural property professionals with its new hybrid classroom, designed to offer students the best of both virtual and in-person learning. This innovative learning environment is outfitted with top-of-the-line technology, including a large interactive display from Avocor, multiple big screen TVs, as well as high-quality cameras and speakers that improve the hybrid education experience for students and instructors alike. 

Why is the ASFMRA so invested in developing its hybrid education? 

While in-person education provides the benefits of face-to-face interaction with instructors and peers, it can be difficult for a busy rural appraiser or farm manager to attend due to the time and costs associated with transportation, as well as family obligations and other factors. On the other hand, on-demand education provides flexibility, but lacks the personalized feedback and social interaction of in-person learning.  

Hybrid education overcomes these limitations by providing students with the ability to attend classes in-person or virtually, depending on their needs and preferences. This model provides students with personalized feedback from instructors, social interaction, flexibility, and convenience. Additionally, with virtual attendees tuning in from across the country, students have the opportunity to learn from a wider range of experiences and perspectives.
