E-Learning Excellence Award 2025

Celebrating Innovation and Excellence in E-Learning

About Award

“Innovation in education is the bridge to empowering minds across the globe. Let’s celebrate those who dare to build it.”

Welcome to the E-Learning Excellence Award 2025. We recognize that true success is measured not by budget size or technical complexity, but by the tangible impact learning has on people and organizations. Our revised categories focus on proven, real-world results achieved under constraints. We invite organizations of all sizes, from small consultancies and training departments to major institutions, to submit their best work using our structured Case Study approach.

With a commitment to fostering transformative change in online education, the E-Learning Excellence Award 2025 is not just an accolade but a way to drive positive change and raise the bar for online education across the globe.

Award Categories

Excellence in Workforce Impact

This category recognizes learning initiatives that deliver tangible improvements in organizational performance. This may include faster time-to-competency, reduced errors, stronger compliance, higher productivity, or other measurable results that demonstrate meaningful impact relative to the resources applied.

Excellence in Quality Learning & Assessment

This category rewards instructional design where learning materials (e.g., modules, videos, interactive exercises, case-based activities, etc.) and assessment methods (quizzes, simulations, evaluations) are well-designed, aligned, provide meaningful feedback and truly demonstrate learner competence - not just memorisation.

Excellence in Inclusive Learning & Reach

This category recognizes innovative and equitable design that expands access to learning. It highlights initiatives that effectively support diverse learners - including those with disabilities - operate reliably in low-bandwidth or low-resource environments, and enable success for individuals with limited technological proficiency.

Excellence in Learning Management & Security

Recognizes excellence in the effective, secure, and sustainable management of learning systems. This may include data protection, operational reliability, responsible infrastructure practices, or other innovative approaches that strengthen trust and system integrity.

The Case Study Submission Standard

.
To ensure we recognize impact and not just intent, all submissions must follow a structured Case Study format. Do not send a brochure or marketing deck; send a comprehensive narrative detailing the journey from problem to proven result.

The Case Study must clearly address the following:

Organizational Context and Problem: Clearly define the real-world business challenge (e.g., high error rate, compliance risk, skill gap) that the intervention was designed to solve.
Obstacles and Strategy: Detail the constraints you faced (e.g., small budget, low technical literacy, remote workforce) and the specific e-learning strategy used to overcome them.
Verifiable Results and Impact: Provide evidence of success beyond learner satisfaction. Document actual knowledge or skill acquisition, behavioral change and organizational impact. Include metrics that showcase growth, stability, or cost savings achieved.
Sustainability and Future: Explain how the solution is scalable, repeatable, and viable for future needs.

Format and Flexibility:

The Case Study should be a structured, written narrative (maximum 5,000 words) in English.
Supporting evidence (e.g. screenshots, videos, etc.) not in English is acceptable if the narrative clearly explains the context and data.
An optional brief video (up to 5 minutes) may be included as an alternative to complex data visualization.

Review Process and Integrity

.
We are committed to a transparent and fair evaluation process that honors your work.

Administrative Screening: Submissions are checked for eligibility and adherence to the Case Study format.
Blind Scoring: All identifying information will be removed by the ELQN team. Each case study is independently scored by at least three expert adjudicators using analytic rubrics that account for institutional size and resource level.
Final Adjudication: Senior experts review top-scoring entries to confirm results and ensure consistent application of standards.
Integrity in Application: All claims, data, and case studies are subject to verification by the ELQN committee. False or misleading claims, or any plagiarism, will result in immediate disqualification.
