TEL Showcase: TEL Awards Application Kit

ACODE TEL Awards Banner 2022

This award celebrates innovative practice in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning across the Australasian (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands) Higher Education and Tertiary Sector.

We’re seeking to recognise higher education and tertiary educators, teams and staff members who have harnessed the power of technology to significantly enhance an organisation's Technology Enhanced Learning capabilities, and positively impact students' learning outcomes through innovative projects, practice and/or initiatives.

In recent years, particularly accelerated by the pandemic, a number of institutions have reduced development of bespoke tools with coalescence toward widely available technologies to support learning and teaching. Technologies developed by individuals, teams, and institutions remain eligible and encouraged, though the panel also encourages innovative practice and positive outcomes achieved with commercially available products that have been widely adopted across the institution.
