WISE - Faculty Awards - Call for Nominations

Each semester, we request nominations for the WISE Award for Excellence in Online Teaching. All students enrolled in a course through the Web-based Information Science Education Consortium (WISE) during the 2008 school year are invited to submit nominations for the award, which highlights outstanding WISE instructors and recognizes them for their dedication to quality online education. These nominations will not be shared with your instructor.

If you would like to nominate an instructor, please e-mail support@wiseeducation.org with a brief statement on the best aspects of the instructor's teaching style, what you enjoyed most about the course and your interactions with the instructor, and any other information you wish to share.

Criteria for the nominees:
- Nominee has instructed one or more WISE course during the 2008 academic year, to include spring 2008, summer 2008, and fall 2008
- Nominee has demonstrated dedication to best practices in online education
- Nominee teaches at a school other than the home school at which the nominator is registered (i.e.: a student from Syracuse University may not nominate a faculty member from Syracuse University)
Nominations will be accepted through December 1, 2008. Recipients will be announced at the 2009 Association for Library and Information Science Education Conference in Denver, CO, on Tuesday January 20, 2009.
