The Economics Centre of the Learning and Teaching Support

that all academics find themselves under, demonstrated 
excellent commitment, enthusiasm and effectiveness in their
teaching practices.

Winners in each of the three categories of:

* Outstanding Teaching
* Outstanding Electronic Resource
* Student-Nominated

will receive £250 in book tokens and free registration to 
the Economics LTSN residential workshop in September where 
they will be awarded their prizes.

The Outstanding Teaching Award will be awarded to a 
UK-based academic who demonstrates excellence across the 
five criteria of:

    * Course structure
    * Delivery
    * Student response
    * Student performance
    * Peer recognition

Nominations, including self-nominations, that address each 
of these criteria should be no longer than 500 words and be
submitted via our online form at:

The Outstanding Electronic Resource award is for UK-based 
academics or teams who have developed excellent electronic 
teaching support materials, whether they are embedded 
within a Virtual Learning Environments, such as Blackboard 
or WebCT, or published as a Web page on the Internet or an 
Intranet.

Nominations, including self nominations, should be no 
longer than 250 words. The judging panel would also require
to have temporary access to any resources that are not 
already publicly available. Successful nominations will be 
required to provide at least a sample of the resource to be

LTSN can provide server space for this, if necessary.

For the first time the centre is also inviting nominations

teacher to receive recognition for the excellence of their 
teaching. Student-Nominated Award Suggestions should be

provided) and be accompanied by a short nominating 
statement no longer than 500 words submitted via the online
