Following its success in last year’s Learning Technologies Awards, Virtual College has been nominated in three categories for the 2016 Awards:

• Learning technologies supplier of the year
• Excellence in the design of learning content - public and non-profit sector.
• Learning technologies designer of the year

Over 170 organisations from 20 different countries have entered for these prestigious global awards. As a total of 279 entries were made, from global names including the BBC, Jaguar Land Rover and the World Health Organisation, these nominations represent a tremendous accolade for Virtual College.

Judges are chosen based not only on their skill, depth of experience and reputation, but also for their contribution to, and passion for, e-learning.

The Learning Technologies Awards gala evening will be held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London, UK on 30 November, 2016.
