The e.Learning Age industry award for outstanding
achievement
Vaughan Waller,
chairman of the eLearning Network (ELN), the UK’s leading
professional association for users and developers of e-learning,
whose members helped to judge the entries and arrive at the
shortlist, explained: “The primary objective of the e-learning
Awards is to recognise excellence in the
e-learning
industry – publicly acknowledging the programmes, projects and
strategies which have enjoyed the greatest success this
year.
“Crucially, the e-Learning Awards will recognise contributions through the eyes of learners themselves - the users - as well as the suppliers. In this way, we intend to present an awards ceremony that both recognizes unique, outstanding work and reflects the impartiality of the ELN and the Awards’, Peter Williams, editor of e.learning Age magazine.”
“We are delighted,” Waller added, “that AbilityNet has agreed to be our nominated charity for the Gala evening on October 13th. AbilityNet is the UK's leading charity bringing the benefits of computer technology to adults and children with disabilities and we hope that the evening will raise money for this worthy organisation.”
