From the Author:
"Submitting my course to the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program has been rewarding on many levels. It has connected me to the community of Blackboard users group, therefore increasing the possibility of sharing excellent course design information. It has allowed me to have my course compared to others and rated on a rubric which insists on the very best of industry standards. Finally, it has shown that the work and time that goes into building a quality course is truly appreciated, not only by those students who take the course, but also by my colleagues at-large who are also laboring to deliver the very best eLearning opportunities possible."
