Each year through a competitive application process, the UNMC Office of E-Learning awards faculty and student teams for the creation of digital, interactive modules. The 13 teams selected for 2024-25 were recognized at the E-Learning Awards Meeting in November.
The projects will receive funding provided by the vice chancellor for academic affairs.
“The program offers a unique opportunity for students and faculty to work together alongside our e-learning instructional design and technology experts to ensure engaging digital materials are integrated into UNMC’s curriculum,” said Peggy Moore, director of e-learning and an assistant professor in the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions.
Jane Meza, PhD, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, congratulated the awardees. “The E-Learning Funded Awards Program is more than just a partnership; it’s a platform for faculty and students to bring educational concepts to life,” Dr. Meza said. “With faculty guiding the vision and students contributing fresh perspectives and content development skills, the program fosters an environment of shared learning and growth.”
The 2024-25 cohort features 61 faculty, staff, students, residents and fellows from six colleges and the Munroe-Meyer Institute. The new awardees join a group of more than 750 individuals who have participated in the E-Learning Funded Awards Program and created more than 300 e-modules, most of which are available on the UNMC E-Gallery.
Teams will demonstrate the new e-modules at the e-learning showcase scheduled for April 2025. To learn more about the services offered by the Office of E-Learning, email or call 402-559-8251.
