Carin Johnson and Paul Schmeling

For the second year in a row, the University Continuing Education Association (UCEA) awarded Berkleemusic with the best online college course award. The winning course, Berklee Keyboard Method, competed against courses across all disciplines, from colleges and universities nationwide. Authored by Paul Schmeling and developed by Carin Johnson, the 12-week, online extension school course was judged on lesson content, assignments, student assessment, course layout, design, and use of multi-media elements. Please join us in congratulating Paul and Carin on their outstanding work!

We would also like to acknowledge the following people who contributed to the success of this online course:

• Matt Marvuglio for his vision and guidance with this course from the very beginning stages.
• Robert Heath for his innovative and effective animation and graphics work.
• Craig Reed for producing exceptional instructional videos of Paul Schmeling that are used throughout the course.
• Susan Gedutis Lindsay for her outstanding editing work.
• Ross Ramsay for arranging and recording dozens of great sounding student play-along tracks for this course.

The award was presented to Dean of Continuing Education Debbie Cavalier at the UCEA annual conference this month in San Diego.
