The International E-Learning Awards (IELA) are awarded on an annual basis for the best projects and solutions in e-learning, mobile learning, and blended learning. Submissions are evaluated by the IELA Awards Committee who look for a variety of attributes, including  educational soundness and effectiveness, usability, and overall significance.

This year’s entries were submitted from all over the world, including the USA, Brazil, Sweden, Germany and the UK. For the second year in a row, Speexx came in first place in the Blended Learning category. Speexx was selected for its online language training solution, which combines self-paced e-learning tools with professional coaching and live communication skills training for Business English, Spanish, German, Italian and French.

Dr. David Guralnick, President of the IELA Awards Committee, commented, "The comprehensive approach of Speexx, combined with high-quality production, enabled it to stand out to our review committee. This year's set of entrants was our most competitive ever, and Speexx’s ability to support learners with different goals and preferences helped it win our top award in the category of Blended Learning."

Winning the Blended Learning category shows that we’re continuing to fulfil the highest international learning standards. I’d like to thank the entire IELA panel for this truly prestigious prize.”
