Eight members of the Arkansas Tech University faculty have been recognized by the Arkansas Blackboard Users Group (ARBUG) for their development of web-based academic courses.
“Everyone at the ARBUG conference was blown away by what our faculty members are producing,” said Dr. Rebecca Callaway, associate professor of instructional technology and instructional designer for eTech at Arkansas Tech University. “They wanted to know what we are doing and if they could come observe.
