Sub: 1993 EDUCOM Software and Curriculum Innovation
Awards
Now Accepting Entries for 1993 EDUCOM Software and Curriculum Innovation
Awards
Contact: Phone: 301/405-7534 Email: awards@cristal.umd.edu
The EDUCOM Software and Curriculum Innovation Awards Program is accepting
entries for the 1993 competition. The deadline for submissions is February
26. To request that an entry form be sent to you, send e-mail to
awards@cristal.umd.edu, or call 301/405-7534.
There are two categories in which submissions can be made: the Product
Division, for original software designed to enhance student learning, and the
Curriculum Innovation Division, which focuses on the use of technology by
rewarding excellence in teaching with computers. There is no requirement that
original software be developed by the submitter to enter an application in the
Curriculum Innovation category, just that the computer be applied in ways that
meet an important instructional need. The innovation might be the creative
classroom use of existing commercial software packages; it might be the
adaptation of existing packages for educational use; or it might be built
around new software designed by the applicant.
Entries will be reviewed in the following disciplines, all of which are at the
undergraduate level except Law:
* Natural Sciences, which can include Astronomy, Atmospheric Science, Biology,
Botany, Ecology, Forestry, Genetics, Zoology, Chemistry, Geology, or Physics;
* Humanities, including Area Studies, Communications, English (Literature or
Composition), Journalism, Foreign Languages, or Philosophy;
* Engineering, including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer Science,
Electrical, Mechanical, or Nuclear;
* Mathematics, which can include Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Statistics, or
other;
* Social Sciences, including Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, Geography,
History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Statistics or Research
Methods; and
* Law (Graduate level), which can include any area of specialization.
