Awards will be given for successful courses, sites, and products in three categories: eLearning, blended learning, and mobile learning. Each category includes awards in both the Academic and Business divisions. The winners will be announced in June 2016 at the ICELW Conference in New York, though contributors do not need to come to New York in order to win an award.

The International eLearning Association is a leading international group that brings together researchers and practitioners in all forms of eLearning. IELA's sponsorship of international conferences and journals, and its strong membership base, continue to advance the state of the art of the eLearning field worldwide in academic and business areas.
