We are delighted to announce that the Exemplary Course Award for 2024-25 is now open.
The ECA is judged across 4 categories:
- Course Design
- Interaction and Collaboration
- Assessment
- Learner Support
Applicants are asked to introduce 3 standout practices for their Course to help frame their application before self-assessing their course – this can be a 1,000 word narrative or an 8-minute Panopto recording.
Following the self-assessment, the courses are assessed by a panel of experts.
The changes to this year’s form include:
- The addition of 1.13 criteria: a Blackboard Ally score of 85% or more.
- The ability to request reports on your course (Student Engagement and Course Summary). These reports can be requested from the Digital Education Group (elearning@aber.ac.uk).
To help prepare for applications, two workshops are being run by the Digital Education Group on:
- 14 January 2025, 14:10-15:30
- 20 January 2025, 10:10-11:30
Places can be booked via the online booking page.
Application forms can be downloaded from the Digital Education Group’s webpages.
Completed applications need to be emailed to elearning@aber.ac.uk before 12 noon on Friday 31 January 2025.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Digital Education Group (elearning@aber.ac.uk).
