Faculty Instructional Web Site Award

by

NACS’s Instructional Web Technologies (IWT) congratulates Professor Ann Van Sant for receiving the Web Site of the Year award!

Professor Van Sant, from English & Comparative Literature, was awarded the 2003 Web Site of the Year award on May 29, 2003 at the annual “Celebration of Teaching” awards ceremony conducted by the Division of Undergraduate Education.

The award was presented to Professor Van Sant by Shohreh Bozorgmehri, Manager of IWT.

Professor Van Sant has carefully created extraordinarily rich Web sites for her students. Her English 102B, Restoration and Revolution, which is a requirement for English majors, covers the forty-year period from 1660, the restoration of the British monarchy, to 1700, the decade after the “Glorious Revolution.”

The Web site offers visual images of gorgeous paintings to illustrate the subject matter. It brings wealth of electronic information, resources, links and materials to her students at the click of a mouse for those who need a little more.

NACS awarded her $1000 toward the purchase of computer hardware, equipment, and software products in support of teaching with technology.
