Wilmington University Named to Prestigious Blackboard Reviewer Council
Participation Recognizes Leading Instructional Design Teams
Wilmington University was named an inaugural member of the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program Reviewer Council. The Exemplary Course Program recognizes faculty and course designers from schools, colleges, and universities around the world who develop exciting and innovative courses that represent the very best in technology and learning.
The Reviewer Council was formed to help share knowledge and foster teamwork around course design, to provide an elevated professional development opportunity for educators and instructional designers and to enhance the quality of course reviews provided to Exemplary Course Program submitters. Stephen Buchanan, Meghan Erickson, Megan Rawlings and Kelly Winchell served as members of the Wilmington University Reviewer Council team.
The Blackboard Exemplary Course Award highlights technologically rich, engaging, well designed and pedagogically sound courses that showcase best practices for the user community. Over 200 courses were evaluated in a rigorous peer-review process by more than 300 faculty and instructional designers.
Wilmington University was honored for its contributions to the Reviewer Council during BbWorld®, Blackboard’s annual user conference, last July in Las Vegas, Nevada.
