The Eric Walborn Award for Excellence in Digital Media and English Studies Instruction
The Eric Walborn Award, established in memory of Eric Walborn, Coordinator of the The Digital Media Project (formerly Computers in Composition and Literature/CCL) from 1987 to 1993, is intended to recognize excellence and innovation in computer‑supported teaching and/or the development of digital media instructional materials in any area of English studies. The Walborn award, which is made to a graduate student in the Department of English, consists of a cash award and recognition at the English Department's annual awards ceremony. We encourage submission of course materials—syllabi, assignments, class activities—and new course proposals; materials and proposals that encourage student digital media production are especially welcome.
Eligibility
Any graduate student in the Department of English who has developed digital media instructional materials during the current academic year (Summer 08 through Spring 09) is eligible.
Nominations
Teachers interested in nominating themselves should submit the following in support of their nomination:
- Appropriate course materials: syllabi, copies of assignments/activities, course proposals.
- A one‑page description of the assignments or activities, including an explanation of the context for the assignment or activity and an explanation of how the technology supports the pedagogical aims of the assignment or activity.
- If applicable, examples of students work (optional).
NOTE: If course materials are online, you may submit a URL with specific instructions describing where to find the materials. Course websites must not be password protected.
Judging
A Walborn Award Selection Committee will be convened to screen the submissions and determine the winner of the award.
