Congratulations! Dr. Dennen receive 2013-2014 Distance Learning Awards

Congratulations to Dr. Vanessa Dennen who has received two Distance Learning Awards:

• Excellence in Online Teaching 
• Innovative and Effective Use of Technology

The Distance Learning Award for Excellence in Online Teaching acknowledges recent online courses that display online teaching strategies that engage students as learning partners. After reviewing Dennen's teaching evaluations, support materials, and online course site for EME 6635 - MOOCs and Open Learning (spring, 2014), a committee of FSU faculty members chose Dennen as a recipient of the 2013-2014 award.

“The Distance Learning Award for Innovative and Effective Use of Technology recognizes recently implemented technology with a positive impact on student learning and motivation and which facilitates instructional delivery, is easily disseminated, and provides a reasonable return on investment,” said Rudasill. Dennen’s work in the course, EME 6635 – MOOCs and Open Learning, led the committee of FSU faculty to select her as an award recipient.

Dennen’s awards will be presented at the 2014 Distance Learning Awards on Friday, November 14, 2014.
