Who We Select Award Winners
The Talented Learning Awards reflect far more than a single survey or product demonstration.
Throughout the year, we engage with learning technology buyers, practitioners and vendors across our independent research, advisory and educational ecosystem. We are on the front lines of the learning technology market, helping organizations evaluate, select, implement, optimize, renew and replace learning systems while continually observing how solutions perform in the field.
The Annual Vendor Capabilities Survey ensures your solution is considered and that we have the most current information about your platform. Award decisions are based on that information, combined with our ongoing market research, analyst briefings, buyer consulting engagements and real-world observations throughout the learning system lifecycle.
Award recognition cannot be purchased, and vendor memberships, sponsorships or other commercial relationships do not influence our selections.
