The Jennifer Burke Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning

The Jennifer Burke Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning is awarded annually by the Irish Learning Technology Association (ILTA) and Dublin City University (DCU). The award, presented for the first time in 2009, was made in memory of Jennifer Burke, a well known teaching and learning innovator and a highly regarded friend of the Irish Learning Technology community who sadly passed away in 2007. In addition to her significant contributions to the Irish and international learning technology communities, Jennifer was instrumental to the establishment of ILTA. The award recognises and reward innovative practice in teaching and learning in Ireland, and in particular reflects and remembers Jenn’s vibrancy, creativity, energy and passion for learning.

Each year the recipient of the award will be presented with two specially commissioned pieces of artwork. The artwork currently resides in the Helix, DCU. Award winners may choose to have the artwork displayed in the their own organisation for one year.
