Blackboard Exemplary Course Program

Greetings,

It's not too late to learn about course design best practices through the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program!

Each year Blackboard invites instructors and instructional designers to nominate their courses to the Exemplary Course Program for evaluation by teams of peer reviewers. These reviewers provide detailed feedback on the best practices employed in the course and note areas in which the course could be improved. This year we have more than 200 trained, volunteer reviewers standing by to provide feedback on your course!

Courses that are identified as Exemplary, and their creators, are highlighted by Blackboard. And best practices from the course design are shared with the broader education community through presentations at BbWorld, Blackboard's annual user's conference, at industry events, on the Blackboard website and more. Exemplary Course designers and instructors are invited to attend BbWorld and other conferences to share their experiences and best practices with the education community.

I encourage you to consider nominating your course, or that of one of your colleagues, for review. Deadline for submission is January 18, 2011. Information about the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program and how to nominate your course is available at www.blackboard.com/ecp.

If you have any questions, please send them to ecp@blackboard.com.

Sincerely,

Jan Poston Day
Senior Director, Client Engagement
