The 4th Annual E-Learning Awards 2008 was formally launched at Learning Technologies on 30-31 January 2008.  Entries are now being invited.

The organisers welcome back City & Guilds as founding sponsors of the E-Learning Awards. City & Guilds have given their generous support to this scheme from its launch in 2005.  Once again the eLearning Network will be the principal judging partner.

The Launch at Learning Technologies included an exclusive free seminar attended by some of last year's E-learning Awards finalists.  They shared the secrets of their success and gave the audience a valuable insight into making an awarding winning presentation.
