The General Extension Division (GED) at the University of Florida was created by the state legislature in 1919. The General Extension Division was established as the extramural college to represent all of the state institutions of higher learning except in agriculture, home economics, and engineering.
As of 2016, a small number of courses continue to use the extension, although it is still active on other Wikipedias. Note that some courses from 2014 and 2015 are duplicated on the Wiki Ed Dashboard and the course page extension. On June 30, 2018, the Education Extension was shut down. [1]
Since 2008, the focus of the foundation has been its Free Education Initiative which has led to the creation of 241 courses representing 10 of the highest enrollment majors [clarification needed] in the US. [1] The Saylor Academy assembles courses from openly available texts and resources.

Its sub-field open-channel flow studies the flow in open channels.
The institute was established from the International Course in Hydraulic Engineering (set up in 1957). This name changed to International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE) in 1976. In 2003, the Institute changed its name to UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (UNESCO-IHE).
