Business School professors scoop teaching awards
Three academics from the University of Exeter Business School have been successful in the Learning and Teaching in Economics Awards.
The scheme, run by the Economics Network, seeks to recognise and reward exemplary practice from within the academic economics community.
Professor John Maloney was nominated by both his students and his Head of Department, receiving a special combined award. Professor Maloney was praised for his wit, enthusiasm and for his skill at putting economic ideas into historical and policy context, which he applies across a range of different modules.
The eLearning award was given to Dieter Balkenborg and Todd Kaplan, University of Exeter for promoting classroom experiments using their FEELE laboratory. The judges acknowledged that not all academics have the benefit of the Exeter team's funding, but recognised that Balkenborg and Kaplan have promoted a truly transformative approach to economics learning, and made their work available to the whole community by running their online service and by donating their documentation to Wikiversity.
