Nominations, applications sought for 2016 Awards for Excellence in Distance Learning

Digital Education is seeking nominations and applications for the 2016 Awards for Excellence in Distance Learning.

The awards recognize faculty and instructional staff who demonstrate excellence in their distance or online projects. The Office of the Provost is funding two cash awards of $1,000 -- one each for a credit and noncredit distance learning activity conducted through Purdue.

Awards are open to faculty, instructors or staff members as individuals or as a team across all Purdue campuses. In the event a team wins an award, the $1,000 will be divided equally among members. At least one of the nominees for each award must be a current faculty member, instructor or staff member at Purdue. The related distance/online learning activity must have been offered within the past two years.

The application is available here. The deadline for applications and nominations is Feb. 29.
