E-Learning program now accepting applications

E-Learning award winners demonstrate their completed work during the annual showcase.

Faculty and students who are interested in developing the next series of e-learning modules are invited to attend the online informational meeting on Thursday, Sept. 14, at noon.

Register for the session here.

Program participants identify a topic to incorporate into a course’s curriculum that focuses on challenging or foundational content that would benefit from a more in-depth explanation. Each e-learning team includes two to four students led by faculty and will receive $1,000 for project creation or student stipends, as well as access to e-learning experts, equipment and software. Faculty provide the content expertise, and student participants develop the multimedia that makes the content memorable.

“We’re excited to launch this year’s funded awards program and help faculty create engaging, accessible materials that learners enjoy,” said Peggy Moore, director of e-learning and assistant professor in the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions. “The collaboration between student developers and faculty members has been incredibly successful in creating interactive modules that enhance student learning and make content easier to understand.

“Plus, student participants are finding their experience in the program highly valuable as they apply for residency or take the next step in their health care career.”

Each project will be published on the E-Gallery, and participants will be recognized at the E-Learning Showcase in April 2024.

The deadline to apply for the program is Oct. 13 at 9 a.m. Award winners will be notified before Nov. 2, and projects must be completed by April 1.
