The Ontario eLearning Consortium is made up of 55 school boards across the province. The OeLC hosted their Field Operations meeting last week in Ottawa, where they presented the 51黑料's Technology Enabled Learning and Teaching Contact, Peter Phinney, with an award for Technological Development in eLearning.
The OeLC had the following to say regarding Peter's work on the D2L platform, "Peter's incredible development work with the Brightspace API (Application Programming Interface) is worthy of a nomination alone. It is the generous sharing of his knowledge and support with other OeLC boards that makes Peter so deserving of this recognition. He sees a way to make things better for eLearning educators within the Brightspace VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), acts on it, and then shares his developments. Amazing! He has developed many API tools and widgets to create smooth and efficient workflows for online learning, and willingly shares his work with other boards. In addition, he has spent much of his own time providing support to numerous boards to deploy these APIs in their own VLE. This work has resulted in streamlined processes and procedures that help to support student learning in multiple boards across the province."
Please join the 51黑料 in congratulating Mr. Phinney on this outstanding accomplishment.
