The Marshall McLuhan Center on Global Communications was founded by McLuhan's daughter Mary shortly after his death in 1980. The Center has focused on the promotion of excellence in teaching and learning with technology. For many years, the Center has contributed to educational growth through the Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher Awards.
In the new era of web learning there is a great need to recognize and share exemplary online teaching and learning practice. Recent technological change has radically changed the face of online education and pioneers on this digital frontier are dramatically changing how distance learning is taking place.
"One of the most important responsibilities of The Marshall McLuhan Center on Global Communications is to promote the use of communications technologies in the teaching/learning environment."
- Mary McLuhan (Chancellor) |
This year, the Center is proud to announce a new series of awards to recognize California educators who are using innovative methods to teach and learn online.

To promote excellence in online teaching and learning, The Marshall McLuhan Center on Global Communications will recognize outstanding educators and students across the United States who use online technology in innovative ways as an integral part of their educational programs.
