KEITH A. PRETTY DISTINGUISHED FACULTY MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARD

The Alliance for Excellence in Online Education will honor an outstanding postsecondary faculty member/s at our annual Symposium. This award is a much-deserved recognition of the talented and hardworking faculty among us. Awardees have enthusiastically demonstrated excellence in transitioning their discipline into the medium of online education. The award recognizes innovative teaching strategies involving technology rather than the use of technology for its own sake. We are delighted to be able to recognize the contributions of our highly valued colleagues, and look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Criteria

The Alliance feels the recipient of this award should embody these qualifications:

•  The award candidate has demonstrated a commitment to quality by enriching course experiences through the innovative use of instructional technology.
•  Of paramount concern is their goal of enhancing students’ learning and retention. The award candidate continually seeks to develop interesting and highly engaging learning opportunities for his/her students.
•  The award candidate inspires and serves as a role-model to his/her colleagues.

The winner will be chosen by the officers of the Alliance for Excellence in Online Education steering committee.  The winner will receive public recognition at the annual Symposium, a commemorative plaque for their office and a travelling plaque for their college.  In addition, the award winner’s college will receive a monetary donation to the scholarship fund of their choice.
