The Center for Digital Education has just named the winners in its Best of the Web Digital Education Achievement Awards Program. The 40 awards span K-12 and Higher Education sites. I believe that it is significant that an open course ware site (MIT) was included among the winners. JH____
"In its third year, the BOW evaluates Higher Education, K-12 state and K-12 local district Web sites on their innovation, Web-based delivery of public services, efficiency, economy, and functionality for improved student and faculty access. The inaugural DEAA grades state district and school online applications and projects based on enhanced interactions, transactions and/or services."
"The review process this year was a difficult, but exciting project," said Marina Leight, director of the Center. "It's clear that the Web ! world in education has come of age and that it's no longer a question of static versus functionality. The defining features are more subtle and have to do with who the Web site is serving and how. Of primary importance in the education sector is how is it serving the student?"
