The OxTALENT annual awards recognise members of the University who have made use of ICT to foster learning and academic practice at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Awards can be given either to individuals or to teams. Applications relating to the development of more effective links between teaching and research or to improving impact and outreach will be particularly welcome.
Details of each category including assessment criteria and how to enter can be found by clicking on the links below.
We also give prizes each year for examples of innovation and good practice which have been identified by staff at Academic IT Services and the OXTALENT Committee during the year through our programme of events, courses, user groups, case studies, meetings, projects, services, consultancy, surveys and user engagement. If you would like to let us know about an example of innovation or good practice you think we should consider for an award please contact oxtalent@oucs.ox.ac.uk

“I feel much more equipped now to talk about how to move about in the social media world. Basically before I knew and used Facebook, LinkedIn and a bit of Twitter – but now I feel like I can use and strategize with more tools, thereby expanding my network and making the information I (and others) produce more accessible and visually pleasing.”
Our ‘Engage’ programme of social media training which ran in Michaelmas term this year is now ‘award winning’. The team have won the 1st UCISA Amber Miro Memorial Award for Technology Innovation.
