These UE e-learning courses received Bronze Stevie® Awards:
Targeted Campus Violence: Recognize the Warning Signs teaches K-12 faculty and staff and higher ed students, faculty, and staff ways to help prevent attacks. The judges rated it highly for its stylistic approach, saying it was clear and well-directed.
“United Educators targeted campus violence [with] a solid program [that] is well-designed to prepare students to understand risk, create awareness, and be vigilant of the danger that is around them,” one of the judges observed. “This is meaningful training, and it is good to instill education in all people, especially in the school, so students are vigilant and aware of potential violence.”
Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harm can be used for higher ed students who have received alcohol-related sanctions. Judges rated the course highly, saying it has great visuals and offers a creative approach to a serious problem.
One judge commented that the course “takes an innovative approach by focusing on immediate harm reduction and realistic strategies … Through engaging scenarios and practical applications, this course effectively addresses the challenges of excessive drinking on campus and promotes responsible choices among college students.”
