Responding to the growing use of online technologies for instruction, the Libraries, Computing and Technology office at Michigan State University holds this annual awards program, generously funded by AT&T, to both recognize and encourage best practices in the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
Beginning in 2025, the awards were no longer categorized by "Best Fully Online," etc., and instead recognize online technology excellence generally.
