Just a few weeks ago I received the news that one of the courses I developed for the Master of Arts in Applied Biblical Studies program, Action Research and Biblical Interpretation, received the COTY Award (Course of the Year) from ACCESS, The Association of Christian Distance Education.

I was honored to receive this award and to be honest, even more honored that Moody Bible Institute Distance Learning won this excellence award two years in a row. There were 19 courses submitted and MBIDL won the COTY award and the honorable mention by our one and only Professor Elizabeth Smith, for her Human Development 1 course. I consider these awards as a mere recognition and confirmation of the hard work, innovative and creative work that Faculty and staff are doing here at MBIDL. These awards really belong to all of MBIDL.
