UofL School of Dentistry faculty members Dr. Marija Sasek and Dr. Valerie Harris Weber, along with Professor Jamie Abrams from the Brandeis School of Law, recently received a 2021 Blackboard Catalyst Award. The team was honored in the Teaching & Learning category. This award recognizes those who have adopted flexible, distance and online delivery, including using mobile technologies to impact the educational experience.

The team partnered to develop an original dental malpractice case file which, according to Blackboard, “brought campuses and disciplines together to build professional identity and apply fundamental course concepts actively and collaboratively.”
