Elearning! and Government Elearning! magazines, the industry voices of the enterprise learning and workforce technology market, announced today the finalists of the Best of Elearning! Awards. Readers and professionals from both the private and public sector cast ballots for the best solutions providers across 20 product categories. Winners for each category will be revealed at the upcoming Elearning! Summit, slated for November 4th , 2010.
“The Best of Elearning! Awards program formalizes the informal “word-of-mouth” referrals practiced in our industry. According to our survey, 85% of professionals have personally recommended a learning solution to a colleague over the past 12 months. And, 61% agreed that award recognition impacted their buying decision,” cites Catherine Upton, group publisher of the Elearning! Media Group.
This year, the Elearning! Magazine Group received 1,730 nominations, consistent with last year’s program, making each category very competitive. Sixty-seven individual products are honored, of which 18% are new to their category. “These awards continue to recognize innovation and user satisfaction across a growing number of solution providers,” reports Jerry Roche, editorial director of the Elearning! Magazine Group.
