How 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’re 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 we have the most current information about your platform. Award decisions are based on this information, combined with our ongoing market research, analyst briefings, buyer consulting engagements, and real-world observations throughout the learning systems lifecycle.
Award recognition cannot be purchased, and vendor memberships, sponsorships or other commercial relationships do not influence our selections. This ensures fair results for all.
