DLIT believes your course is exemplary — so submit it to the Blackboard Exemplary Course Award program
We know you have an exemplary course in Blackboard, and it’s time for you to be recognized!
The 2013 Blackboard Catalyst Awards are open for nominations, and the Distance Learning and Instructional Technologies Department wants to encourage faculty to submit their courses to the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program. Last year, one of our own faculty members was recognized, and we’d like to have more courses honored in 2013.
We will even help you! We can help you with instructional design questions and even take the time to look at your course using the Blackboard Exemplary Course Rubric with you — just contact us at dlit@grcc.edu. The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2013.
