Learning Light helps to celebrate excellence in e-learning through the Insider Yorkshire Digital Awards

Learning Light, a non-profit organisation which focuses on integrating systems and aligning learning and people development programmes to meet strategic business goals, is working with Yorkshire Business Insider to develop and judge a new award - for the best e-learning initiative - in this year's 'Insider Yorkshire Digital Awards'.


Entries for The Insider Yorkshire Digital Awards 2008 close on 4th February and the awards ceremony takes place on 8th May at The Royal Armouries Hall in The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.

Learning Light's David Patterson commented: "While we're pleased to be associated with these awards, we're particularly delighted to have the chance to help popularise and promote an award that recognises excellence within the field of e-learning.

"Not only is the e-learning developer community growing in numbers and economic importance within the region but we believe that it is important to reward the application of leading edge technology and creativity in helping people to perform their jobs to the best of their ability. In that way, these e-learning programmes benefit the entire community in this region and contribute to its increasing prosperity."

According to Peter Baber, editor of Yorkshire Business Insider: "This awards programme acknowledges and promotes those companies in Yorkshire and the Humber that demonstrate excellence in the digital and new media industries. This year, we are introducing awards for best game, e-learning initiative and IT consultancy."

The awards categories for 2008 are:

 

  • Best Web Design Company

  • Best IT Consultancy

  • Best Business to Business Website

  • Best Business to Consumer Website

  • Best Application of Internet Technology

  • Best Digital Start Up
