McGraw-Hill Higher Education, part of McGraw-Hill Education, has announced that its student knowledge sharing and collaboration network, GradeGuru.com will be presented with the 2010 Effective Practice Award at the 3rd Annual Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C). Sloan-C is an association of institutions and organisations of higher education engaged in online learning. The Sloan Consortium Emerging Technologies for Online Learning conference will take place in San Jose, California on July 21, 2010.
GradeGuru is a free knowledge sharing network where college students can share their study materials, engage in collaborative learning and get peer-support while building their online academic reputations for rewards, internships and career opportunities. GradeGuru's university and class specific communities provide a relevant and intuitive social learning environment for thousands of students from more than 300 universities across the country.
The Effective Practice Award recognises educators, institutions and organisations for effectively innovating to realise the potential of online learning in higher education. Winners of this award are judged against strict criteria, including demonstrating researched evidence of a significant impact on learning outcomes, broad scope and application in multiple learning contexts, and an overarching test of agreement that 'Every institution should be doing this!' The effective practices selected for the award are peer reviewed to ensure quality and are based on their ability to advance the goals of access, learning effectiveness, faculty and student satisfaction and scalability.
