The 2012 Blackboard Catalyst Awards is now OPEN for submissions!
The Blackboard Catalyst Awards honors those who push the boundaries of their educational programs and technology in order to deliver innovative and effective learning experiences. This year, we will recognize innovators in the following categories: Community Collaboration, Exemplary Courses, Innovative Development, Mobile Innovation, Staff Development and a new category – Communications Strategy.
Submitting your program or course to the Catalyst Awards has many benefits, including:
– Develop a fresh perspective by seeing how other institutions are implementing industry best practices
– Learn course design best practices to improve the engagement, collaboration, assessment and learner support within your own courses or courses you help develop
– Gain peer, institution, and industry recognition for your accomplishments and participation in the program
