On Wednesday 4 May, amazing achievements were celebrated at the Blackboard and VLE Awards. The hybrid event started with a Twitter prelude, and ended with a grand finale with nearly 200 attendees joining both in–person and online.
The awards celebrated standout modules – nominated by students – that were enjoyable and beneficial to their learning from the current academic year, or from semester two in 2021. We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to students for nominating the courses, and judges for making it both exciting and challenging to select the winners.
