Applying for an award for an Educational Technology project is a means of obtaining professional recognition for a staff member,
organisational unit or the institution. Some awards come with a financial or equipment prize that can be beneficial in
progressing the project. The award process may provide further benefits to the staff member as the increased
publicity and opportunity to showcase the project will enable networking opportunities with staff from other institutions.
