Blackboard Catalyst Award
0 The Blackboard Exemplary Course Program began in 2000 with
the goal of identifying and disseminating best practices for
designing engaging online courses.
0 Using the Exemplary Course Rubric, instructors and course
designers are able to evaluate how well their own course
conforms to best practices outlined in the rubric.
0 Courses that are submitted to the program will be evaluated
using the rubric by a peer group of Blackboard clients. Then, a
Reviewer Council reviews any course that received at least one
exemplary rating.
0 From there, courses that receive two or more exemplary ratings
will be reviewed by the Exemplary Course Directors to determine
who will receive an Exemplary Course Award.
Benefits of Participating
Submitting your course for review will provide you the opportunity
to:
0 Reflect on your own course design through a self-evaluation of
your course and gain new perspective and insights on your
course.
0 Receive detailed feedback on your own course development
including best practices and areas for improvement.
0 Apply lessons learned from the Exemplary Course Rubric to your
own courses or those you are helping to develop.
0 Gain professional development experience and recognition for
your accomplishments and participation in the program.
