Have you created a Blackboard course that you are proud of? Has your Blackboard course previously won or been shortlisted for the University of Southampton VLE Awards<\/a>? If you have answered ‘Yes!’ to these questions, then the Blackboard Catalyst Awards<\/a> are for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Awards are an opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments. You have until 9th March 2018 to submit your nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like some support with your nomination or want a member of the Digital Learning team to review your course and give feedback before submitting your nomination, please get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackboard Catalyst Awards categories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are various categories, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Leading Change<\/li>
  • Community Engagement<\/li>
  • Teaching & learning<\/li>
  • Inclusive Education<\/li>
  • Optimizing Student experience<\/li>
  • Training & Professional Development<\/li>
  • Student Success<\/li>
  • Exemplary Course Program (N.B. Submissions for this are accepted year-round)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We realise that this is quite short notice, so you may want to work towards Exemplary Course Program status with a view to entering the awards in 2019. Again, the Digital Learning team can support your application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
