The Education Technology Office has been awarded!
We’re pleased to share that the Education Technology Office (ETO) has received recognition through the inaugural MAPLE Media Awards.
In the summer of 2025, the ETO submitted several projects we supported within FASE to the MAPLE Media Awards, an initiative launched by the organizers of the Digital Media in Canadian Higher Education Community of Practice (University of British Columbia) to recognize the work of media and content creators across Canadian post-secondary institutions.
This first year of the awards drew submissions from institutions across Canada, spanning a wide range of categories including video, animation, audio, and design. All entries were evaluated by a panel of volunteer judges made up of MAPLE-NET members and invited guest judges.
We’re happy to share that two of our submissions were recognized:
“Conservation of Angular Momentum” – Educational Explainer, Distinction
This educational video was created for Professor Fatemeh Jazinizadeh and demonstrates the conservation of angular momentum using the example of a figure skater. For this project, the ETO supported Prof. Jazinizadeh with video pre-production (scripting and recording logistics) and post-production (editing and motion graphics). Prof. Jazinizadeh captured the footage with an iPhone equipped with a bluetooth lav microphone, then handed it over to the ETO’s content production team for editing, audio processing, colour grading, and motion graphics.
“Working Safely with Sharps” – Promotional, Excellence
This project was a collaboration between Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), FASE Health and Safety, and the Education Technology Office. The goal was to transform an existing one-hour training presentation into an engaging, interactive digital learning experience. This project’s unique blend of storytelling, instructional design, and multimedia production sets it apart from some of the other types of projects the ETO has worked on in the past.
We’re grateful to have supported these projects and are delighted to see the collaborative work behind them recognized in this way.
