Recognizing innovation and excellence in the Blackboard global community of practice, P站视频 (P站视频) Virtual Campus Staff members Katherine Profeta and Michael Pelitera have been selected as 2018 Blackboard Catalyst Award winners in the 鈥淭raining and Professional Development鈥 category.

Founded in 2005, the annual Catalyst Awards recognize and honor innovation and excellence in the Blackboard global community of practice, where millions of educators and learners work every day to redefine what is possible when leveraging technology.

This course focuses on online teaching methods and provides faculty with information to be successful in the online learning environment. In addition to covering best practices in online instruction, the course fosters the use of Blackboard鈥檚 technical tools such as Blackboard Collaborate, allowing instructors to try new technologies in a low-stakes environment.
