The Office of Information Technology would like to congratulate Melissa Avery and Patricia Schaber, 2009 recipients of the Academic Health Center's Academy for Excellence in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. The award is the highest recognition of excellence in the AHC educational mission.
Dr. Avery was a DMC Faculty Fellow from 2001 to 2002 and a TEL Grant recipient in 2005. Since 1996, Dr. Avery has worked diligently to create technology-enhanced learning opportunities for students from rural and urban under-serviced areas.
Dr. Avery's significant accomplishments include the design and delivery of three mostly online graduate programs in nursing. She also co-chaired the WebVista conversion committee, serving as the faculty lead for the massive effort which impacted over 2,200 faculty and staff and over 50,000 students as the University upgraded to a new course management tool.
Patricia Schaber was a DMC Faculty Fellow from 2006 to 2007. Dr. Schaber's year as a fellow coincided with Occupational Therapy's move from a traditional face-to-face model to a hybrid model, and her work in the program focused on redesigning a class for distance learning.
Dr. Schaber embraced the challenge to adapt a course focused on professional behavior and attitudes. She used learning technologies to teach affective content in an online environment and to develop the kind of community that she had always enjoyed in her face-to-face courses.
Congratulations to Melissa Avery and Patricia Schaber. Their hard work and dedication has earned them the prestigious award and the opportunity to expand their amazing work with educational technologies.
Registration and payment information for all classes is found at the University Technology Training Center Web site.
