XCaliber Award for Excellence in Technology Assisted Teaching and Learning
Established in 1996 by the Office of the Provost, the XCaliber Award (shorthand for exceptional, high-caliber work) is presented annually by the Virginia Tech Center for Innovation in Learning to recognize individual faculty members or teams of faculty and staff who have made significant contributions towards integrating technology into teaching and learning experiences. The award celebrates innovative approaches to teaching with technology that illustrate student-centered learning activities. Recipients receive a cash award and are called upon to demonstrate their award-winning work with their colleagues.
