The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE), in partnership with D2L, have awarded Anne Trépanier, a professor in Carleton University’s School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies, with a 2019 D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning.
The award recognizes educators who are redefining the learning experience through innovative, student-centred practices. Five winners were selected among applicants from around the world.
Trépanier thoughtfully and creatively incorporates technology into her courses, all while keeping one thing in mind – her students.
“Professor Trépanier has embraced the use of appropriate educational technologies while always thinking carefully about the pedagogy behind them,” said Jerry Tomberlin, Carleton’s Provost and Vice-President (Academic). “Rather than be a passive observer of the online course material, students in Anne Trépanier’s courses experience the fully interactive course features that she designed.”
The award recipients will be recognized at this year’s STLHE annual conference, June 11 to 14 in Winnipeg. Each of the five winners will receive a two-year membership in STLHE, as well as $2,200 toward travel and registration costs for STLHE’s annual conference.
Trépanier is the fourth Carleton professor to receive this award. Previous winners include: Jesse Stewart (2017), Peggy Hartwick (2015) and Shawn Graham (2013).
