The Mastery of Electronic Media in Education (MEME) Award was established in 2003 to encourage the effective integration of pedagogy and technology. In 2008, it was renamed after the first director of the CWRL, John Slatin, whose work inspired and continues to inspire so many in this goal.

The Award recognizes Assistant Instructors who have designed teaching and learning activities, such as a particular assignment or project in the computer-assisted classroom, that originally and effectively integrate pedagogy and technology. Instructors submit their activity as a handout, description, URL, podcast, or other electronic form, accompanied by a short (no longer than 300 words) rationale describing their pedagogical goal in the exercise, and how that goal was enabled or enhanced by a particular classroom technology.

Exercises are judged by the following criteria: creativity, successful integration of pedagogy and technology, pedagogical foundation or rationale, and adherence to the CWRL's commitment to accessibility. As advanced design is not a criterion of this award, we have encouraged submissions by instructors with all levels of CA-classroom experience. The award is announced at the annual DRW luncheon.
