This category covers courses for which a class generally meets face-to-face (physically) weekly during a semester and uses technology to supplement classroom-based teaching and learning. Higher education refers to university-level undergraduate education (also referred to as "college" in North America), vocational education (referred to as "tertiary" in Australia and New Zealand), and beyond.

All you need is to use at least one of the Sakai tools for a part of your course. The course must be offered by an accredited education institution (K12, College, University, etc.).

Do I have to be excellent in every category of the rubrics to apply for the Teaching with Sakai Innovation Award?

No. What the award focuses on is innovation at large. If you implemented a great idea to enhance student learning and feel like you might need to improve in some other aspects, please do not hesitate to submit your course.
