Congratulations to Heather Forest, from Antioch University, and Justin Tickhill, from Ohio University, two recipients of ETD awards from the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) consortium. The awards recognize students who have written exemplary electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). These ETDs demonstrate new dimensions of scholarship being explored by individuals who have made significant contributions to the worldwide ETD movement.
Both Heather and Justin are from OhioLINK schools and received Innovative ETD Awards which recognizes student efforts to transform the genre of the print dissertation through the use of innovative software to create cutting edge ETDs. Use of renderings, photos, video and other multimedia objects that are included in the electronic document were considered as part of the innovation of the work. The awards will be presented at the ETD 2008 Symposium, to be held this year at The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, June 4th - 7th.
