Celebrate open source software success stories! Please use this form to nominate those doing innovative work with open source solutions and Apereo communities.
Anyone may nominate candidates for an Apereo Dolphin Award.
The three Apereo Dolphin Award categories include:
Teaching and Learning: These awards recognize innovation in teaching and learning using open source software, promoting excellent pedagogy, sharing new practices in teaching, and encouraging more faculty involvement in software evolution.
Enterprise Solutions: This award recognizes academic institutions, project teams, or others in the development, deployment, and/or implementation of open source software in support of higher education.
Innovation, Advocacy, and Networking (The IAN): This is a special honor to recognize an individual champion or leader, although this award can go to an organization as well. The recipient of this award promotes, propels, and transforms open source initiatives to meet the diverse and evolving needs of higher education.
