GLENN A. REICH
MEMORIAL AWARD FOR INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Glenn Reich believed in a humanistic, collaborative approach to instructional technology. He believed that "technology could enrich the teaching and learning process; it could open the doors for new opportunities and new ideas."
This award was established in 1999 by Lori Reich in memory of her late husband, Glenn Reich, former Director of User Services at Harper College. Glenn wanted to share his love of computers with students and faculty members. He encouraged faculty and staff to invest their energy in the technology that he knew would dramatically affect our world. Glenn believed every academic discipline should expose students to technology and assist them to become more comfortable with it. This award is devoted to realizing and carrying forward that vision.
To be considered for the $1,000 award, applicants must submit:
- a description of the instructional technology or technologies they have used or are using
- explain how it has enhanced the teaching and learning process
- describe how they envision its future use.
Applications will be evaluated based upon innovation, creativity, teaching/learning evolution, shared knowledge and future teaching/learning application.
Contact, Deadline, and Application Information
Contact: ITC co-chairs Terry Morris, x 6818 or Michele Ukleja, x 6859
Deadlines: Nominations may be made by any member of the Harper Community. The nomination deadline is Monday, November 1, 2010. The award recipient is announced each December.
