Ayman Mohamed from the College of Arts & Letters
Rabindra Ratan from the College of Communication Arts & Sciences
Kirtimaan Mohan, Kathleen Hinko, and Vashti Sawtelle from the Lyman Briggs College
The 2023 AT&T Excellence in Teaching with Technology Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the use and development of information technology for teaching and learning in credit-bearing courses at Michigan State University. These educators are recognized as campus leaders in contributing to student success through technology integration and enhancement in their courses. Up to three awards are given each year. Any practice used in a course is eligible for consideration. This includes, but is not limited to, assessments, activities, and projects.
This year the criteria for the awards was revised to focus on the specific practice of using technology effectively. Applications with an explanation of their course and how they used technology, along with a video, were submitted by academic staff. A committee of peers and campus leaders evaluated and chose three general winners based on their submission. In addition to being honored at the event, the award recipients also receive a $2,000 stipend to use toward the purchase of technology to enhance their teaching practice, or for their own professional development.
