Congratulations to Dr Fiona Farr who has won the inaugural Regional Award for Excellence in Higher Education Teaching. This award is open to all academics in the institutions within the Shannon consortium. An external panel, made up of teaching and learning experts from Trinity, UCD, and the UK, reviewed student testimonals, evaluated DVD footage, teaching related achievements and evidence within the candidates’ portfolios, and chose Dr Fiona Farr as the winner.
The Shannon Consortium, a collaborative alliance between UL, MIC, LIT and IT Tralee, aims to establish the Shannon region as a zone of excellence in teaching, learning and learner support. The Regional Award recognises and rewards outstanding teaching within the Consortium.
A ceremony to mark this award took place in the Millstream Common Room at 12 noon on Wednesday 30th April 2008.
