GVSU IT's eLearning Team Earns Catalyst Award from Anthology (Blackboard)

GVSU IT's eLearning Team was recently awarded the Catalyst Award by Anthology, the university's partner in the recent implementation of the Blackboard (Bb) Ultra Learning Management System (LMS). As a Leading Change category winner, the eLearning team was recognized for their dedication to implementing Ultra in innovative and comprehensive ways, successfully driving this change across the entire campus.  
 
The Blackboard Ultra migration at GVSU has become a model for institutions nationwide, serving as a guideline for those considering a transition to this platform. 

The eLearning Team received this award during the Anthology Together conference held from July 15-17 in Orlando, Florida.  

"Our team is honored and delighted to have received the Catalyst Award, especially in the category of Leading Change. While our goal was always primarily to successfully transition GVSU to a more innovative, intuitive platform for teaching and learning, it has been rewarding to share best practices and strategies for success with other institutions undergoing similar transitions," shared Kim Kenward, Director of eLearning Technologies. "This team fully deserves the recognition they've received for their outstanding work and commitment to the project's success." 

In addition to the team's direct consultations with institutions, they have developed a comprehensive transition website featuring Ultra resources designed by eLearning and collected from other Michigan institutions, now utilized globally.
