2015 E-Learning Awards
Meet the judges
One of the secrets of the E-Learning Awards’ success is the quality and independence of the judging process. So meet the people who are making the crucial decisions.
A key element in any award scheme is the judging process. The E-Learning Awards have assembled the best in the e-learning business, professionals who bring independence of mind as well as expertise to the process. The E-Learning Awards judging partner, the eLearning Network, has laid out clear processes and criteria (see
http://www.learningtechnologies.co.uk/Content/e-learning-awards-judging). The judges determine the winners by ensuring the criteria are fulfilled in all categories. The judges meet to draw up the shortlist, take presentations and then, after discussion and debate, reach their conclusions.
