Greenblatt receives national award for online education

Ellen Greenblatt, associate professor and scholarly communications librarian at Auraria Library, recently was presented the Excellence in Online Teaching Award from the Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) consortium. The national award recognizes accomplishments of online educators.

Greenblatt teaches courses in library resources and information services, where students explore methods of enhancing services and evaluating resources for traditionally underserved groups of library users.  Greenblatt teaches courses through the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University.

“Communication and collaboration are core components of my teaching style, and I strive for both active and authentic learning experiences,” said Greenblatt. A student in one of her recent courses is grateful for Greenblatt’s emphasis on challenging students to “consider the many facets of librarianship.”

Auraria Library serves the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, the Community College of Denver, and the Auraria Higher Education Center.
