We were thrilled on Thursday 16 December when we received the Bronze Award at ALT&#8217;s Award Ceremony! We have learned that this year&#8217;s entries were extremely competitive and we are so proud to put UCEM on a pedestal for its commitment to provide quality fully online education with our students at the heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ucem.ac.uk\/onlineeducation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-1.png\" alt=\"Teams screenshot of the digital education team and academic colleagues waving\" class=\"wp-image-2104\"\/><figcaption>Digital Education team coming together with our academic colleagues for the awards ceremony.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our award entry focused on the collaborative working practices that we have brought into the module design and enhancement processes, which in itself we have developed significantly over the past year to embed new approaches, standards, pedagogies and processes. Whilst the award means so much to us, what has really struck home is the amount of support from our academic colleagues, many of whom joined us to watch the virtual ceremony, and the vocal praise from across the institution &#8211; from our immediate colleagues we work with on a daily basis right through to the university college&#8217;s Board of Trustees. This isn&#8217;t just a team thing &#8211; it demonstrates how a whole institutional approach to online education can place digital education experts in partnership and on a par with academic staff, to design learning that is at the forefront of the sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read our submission and those of the other award winners on the <a href=\"https:\/\/altc.alt.ac.uk\/winter2021\/awards-showcase\/\">ALT Awards Showcase<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ucem.ac.uk\/onlineeducation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-2.png\" alt=\"Twitter post: @StudyUCEM We are keeping our fingers crossed for our digital education team at this evening's \n@A_L_T\n Awards!
