Q&A: POD Innovation Award Nominees

This session is an opportunity for participants to have a Question and Answer (Q&A) time with presenters who have been nominated for the POD Innovation Award.

Originally called the Bright Idea Award, the POD Network Innovation Award seeks to recognize the original, innovative ideas of new and experienced educational developers that improve teaching and learning, help to enhance the effectiveness of higher education faculty, and contribute to the field of educational development. From a highly competitive pool of proposals, the selection committee recognizes finalists who present their innovative ideas in a special poster session during the poster session (On-Demand at conference website). Each finalist will be recognized at the closing session where the winner of the award will be announced.
