As you may be aware the Consortium just announced the inaugural winners of the individual Awards for OpenCourseWare Excellence (ACE). The individual recipients were selected by the board of directors at the January meeting. The award program also includes awards for sites and courses, which are selected by an awards committee, which is beginning the process now, and we are seeking additional volunteers to help out. If you are interested, please contact me (Steve Carson) at scarson at mit dot edu.
