Meet the 2018 Digital Learning Innovation Award Faculty-Led Team Recipients

Brief Abstract
Meet the team leader for each of our 2018 DLIAward Faculty-Led Team Awardees. Each team that submitted for this year's award shared a common intention – that student success is positively impacted by digital learning initiatives.
