A professional distinction conferred by the OLC Board of Directors for exemplary leadership in online learning.
Fall Awards portal is now closed.
Since 2010, the Consortium has recognized individual OLC members as OLC Fellows. Recognition as an OLC Fellow is one of unusual professional distinction and is conferred upon individual members of the Online Learning Consortium by the OLC Board of Directors for outstanding work within digital learning, extraordinary contributions to the field, distinguished service to OLC, and extraordinary leadership. Special attention is given to an individual’s contributions in one or more areas represented by the OLC Dimensions of Quality.
Fellow recognition is an honor that an individual cannot seek. Rather, a nomination must be initiated by another OLC Fellow, an OLC Individual Member, or an OLC Institutional Member.
A Fellow Selection Committee will be appointed by the OLC Board President and will have responsibility for managing the nomination process, for evaluating all nominations submitted, and for recommending a limited number of candidates to the Board of Directors for selection. The Fellow Selection Committee receives nominations, reviews credentials, and recommends candidates for approval by the OLC Board of Directors.
OLC Fellow Nominations are evaluated on four primary criteria:
