TTN’s learning platform was judged on the following criteria:
- Fit the need

- Overall measurable benefits
Entries for the award were judged by a select panel of industry professionals, including university professors, business and technology executives, and instructional designers and program developers from corporations, nonprofits and government organizations from around the globe.
