CATEGORIES
Projects are submitted to the eLearning Awards in general, not to a specific category. All entries are considered for the top awards and evaluators identify projects suitable for special awards.
This year, we extend the scope of the awards to new areas: school development. e-safety issues and institutional aspects as well as pedagogical issues. Particular emphasis will also be given to schools active in increasing the attractiveness of mathematics, science and technology.
