How UX Professionals Collaborate on Deliverables
Collaboration is beneficial not only for design deliverables like wireframes, prototypes, and comps, but also for user-research deliverables, such as reports, presentations, and data analyses. Collaborating on these latter artifacts leads to more ideas, fewer blind spots, and a smaller workload.

Was watching Brain Games with my 12-year old last night. They were showing some magic tricks, and then asked, "Who are you going to trust?" and showed a clip of Richard Nixon. I paused it and asked my son if he knew who it was or why they were showing the clip - Nope!

The Case for a Paradigm Shift in Extension from Information-Centric to Community-Centric Programming
Clients are more interested in the development of communities than passive dissemination of information from traditional Extension programs. Numerous studies support this idea that producers learn from other producers or users of a technology (Brashear, Hollis, & Wheeler, 2000; Gaul, Hochmuth, Israel, & Treadwell, 2009; Miller & Cox, 2006; Vergot III, Israel, & Mayo E., 2005). Additionally, as evidenced by the producer who used her smartphone to access technical information, the way people access information has changed, and Extension personnel are not the first choice if at all. An important question arises from these observations: How can the current information-centric paradigm of Extension programming shift to better meet the needs and desires of its constituents?
In this day and age, information is a commodity, not a scarce resource that Extension can build it's value upon. We need to be connectors, conveners, facilitators, and network weavers. While we do have this in our tradition (think of farm kitchen table meetings), many of us still emphasize our role in disseminating reasearch-based information. We need to shift our emphasis.
