Faculty honored for innovative use of technology

Central Michigan University is proud to announce that Instructional Designer Tracy Donohue was recognized by their peers with the Exemplary Course Program (ECP) Award. The ECP Award, presented by Anthology, recognizes faculty and course designers from schools, colleges, and universities around the world who develop engaging and innovative courses that represent the very best in technology and learning.

“I am honored and delighted to receive this award,” said Donohue. “Working alongside my colleague, Mingsheng Dai, Ph.D., I had the opportunity to learn and grow from her expertise about online course shells and infuse course content knowledge.”

Donohue’s course stood out among numerous submissions to win this distinguished award. The course has been celebrated for its excellence across four critical components, including Course Design, Interaction and Collaboration, Assessment, and Learner Support.

The Exemplary Course Program, which has flourished for nearly two decades, highlights the groundbreaking achievements of educators and course designers around the world.
