The Learning Technology Team would like to say a very big thank you and many congratulations to the four members of academic staff who received a NILE Ultra Course Award at the University’s Learning and Teaching Awards ceremony on Thursday 6th July.
This year’s winners were:
- Helen Caldwell & Joanne Barrow – EDUM074: International Perspectives on Education
- Alison Power – MID1028: Scholarly Practice in Midwifery
- Jodie Score – SLS1019: Introduction to Microbiology
The Ultra Course Awards recognise staff who have created excellent Ultra courses for their students, and each course submitted for an award was reviewed by a panel to ensure that it met the award criteria, which are that the course:
- Follows the NILE Design Standards (https://libguides.northampton.ac.uk/learntech/staff/nile-design/nile-design-standards)
- Is clearly laid out and structured via the use of learning modules or folders at the top level, and uses, where appropriate, sub-folders to organise content within the top-level learning modules or folders
- Contains a variety of content, including activities for students to take part in
Nominations for the next round of Ultra Courses Awards will open in August 2023, and the winners will be announced at the 2024 UON Learning and Teaching Conference.
