Diane Reddy, director of UWM’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, was one of five educators to receive a 2015 Brightspace Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning. The award is presented annually by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and D2L.

A professor of psychology, Reddy designed and implemented U-Pace, a student-centered, high-impact online learning technology that has increased student success at UWM and other universities. Her work and research on U-Pace is supported by multiple grants.
