What's New at Outdoor Ed

We're back at it again adding lots of new features!

New Site Design

The Design Team has been hard at work to bring you a whole new look at OutdoorEd.com. Cutting edge Web features and streamlined navigation make it easy to locate the content you need. This is just the first of a whole range of new features that we've been working on for the past few months. That's why tens of thousands visit Outdoor Ed every month. Keep watching for upcoming announcements.

All site navigation is now handled from one navigation bar at the top of the page. Click on any topic to access the additional dropdown menus. Let us know what you think of our new look!

The new Outdoor Ed Community Opens - Join Now!

We are really excited to open the new Outdoor Ed Community section that's been in development for the past 6 months. We are bringing you state-of-the-art Web-based Discussion Forums and Blogs.

This new resource is an expanded version of other resources and a replacement for the AEELIST Experiential Education listserv which is being retired. We are really excited about the Community and confident that the great new features, like Web-based browsing and searching, email subscriptions to Forums and individual posts and RSS Feeds will make it a great resource for the outdoor education community.
