UNCG Achieves Top Honors in Two Prestigious Distance Online Learning Competitions
UNCG announced that an online development team in the University’s Division of Continual Learning has been honored by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) with a platinum award – the organization’s most prestigious recognition for excellence. The same team also has received a “Best Practices in Distance Learning” award from the North Carolina Distance Learning Association (NCDLA). Both awards recognize UNCG for a pair of innovative new online Western Civilization courses (Western Civilization 101 and 102). Both are designed to bring history to life by immersing students in an online world where they learn by doing. In Level 101, they become undercover detectives on an Interpol task force investigating the theft of valuable historical artifacts. In the companion Level 102 course, they participate in an “Artifacts Roadshow,” where they appraise the historical significance of items brought to the show.
