The American Institute of Architects (AIA) informed AEC Daily that they had won the 2009 AIA/CES Award for Excellence for Internet Platform Providers. The award is extremely competitive and difficult to obtain. AEC Daily was chosen not just for having one outstanding course, but instead, for having an overall program with an exceptional commitment to high quality education. “AEC Daily is proud to be the first winner of the AIA/CES Award for Excellence for Internet Platform Providers” said Jeff Rice, president of AEC Daily. “We were pleased to learn that the AIA had created this brand new award category to recognize the growing importance of online distance learning.” The prize is awarded by the AIA jury to a continuing education provider who has demonstrated a strong overall commitment to quality programming and delivery. The judging process is very thorough. Rather than focusing on individual achievements, it evaluates an organization in 6 major areas: 1. Leadership commitment and support, 2. Planning and analysis, 3. Design and implementation, 4. Resources and records, 5. Evaluation and improvement, and 6. Provider-specific, partnership, and alliances. “The AIA would like to congratulate AECDaily.com on winning the 2009 CES Award for Excellence as the Internet Platform Provider of the Year.
