NDU's iCollege wins innovation award

The National Defense University's Information Resources Management College (NDU iCollege) received the prestigious Elearning! 100 Award for Innovation at the Elearning! 100 Awards dinner, held on March 20, 2012, at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town hotel, located in Alexandria, Va. Paulette Robinson, assistant dean of teaching, learning, and technology for the NDU iCollege accepted the award on behalf of the college. Finalists are evaluated against three criteria: Aberdeen's Best-in-Class learning and development study, Elearning! Media Group (EMG) learning culture index, and overall organizational performance. The award submissions were open to government, corporate, and non-profit organizations.

This is the second year in a row that the NDU iCollege has received this coveted award.

The Elearning! 100 Award recognizes 100 organizations (60 corporate and 40 public sector), for their outstanding learning culture, innovation, and collaborative efforts that drive excellence and performance.

The NDU iCollege is a Department of Defense (DoD) educational institution. Although a majority of the students come from DoD (military and civilian), the college also accepts other federal, state, and local government students, private sector students, and international military students. Education is focused around CIO, CFO, Cyber Security, Cyber Leadership, Enterprise Architecture, IT Project and Program Management, and the Government Information Leadership (GIL) Masters of Science Degree program.
