  • News Release: Provost's Awards of Excellence Winners include Bradley Dilger, English and journalism associate professor, is the recipient of the Excellence in Teaching in Technology Award for taking great strides in improving the technological abilities of his students. "One of Dr. Dilger's main goals is not to just show technology, but to help the user apply technology tools meaningfully and effectively," the committee stated. "He uses a variety of technologies in his classroom: social bookmarking, photo sharing services and citation managers. After learning how a technology works, students must create their own projects using these services. Dr. Dilger has become a major resource on web accessibility and provides guidance for campus policies on accessibility. He has presented on this topic nationally and was awarded the President's Excellence in Diversity Award for Accessible Course Design."
