Now in its fourth year, the eLearning Award selects outstanding state-of-the-art eLearning and educational projects and showcases them as best-practice examples. The eLearning Award judging panel assesses projects in terms of their user friendliness, technology, learning content, and overall value for the customer.

This year, more than 100 eLearning providers and their partners from all over Europe submitted applications for the eLearning Award. The judging panel consisted of renowned experts from the eLearning and educational industries. Speexx was chosen as the winner of the “Language Training” category for its Speexx Live solution, which has been helping its customer boost staff business communication skills since 2010. Speexx allows employees from different departments to focus on their job-specific language needs, while helping HR managers to monitor their workforce's learning progress.

Speexx Live combines self-paced eLearning tools with live communication-skills training in the virtual classroom, as well as ongoing support and motivation by personal coaches. Several hundred students at the pharmaceutical company's worldwide offices currently use Speexx to improve their foreign-language and business-communication skills.

"We are very proud to receive such a highly acclaimed award", says Armin Hopp, Founder and President of Speexx. "Winning the 'Language Training' category shows that we are setting the standard in delivering excellent foreign-language and communication-skills training to organisations worldwide. On behalf of Speexx, I would like to thank our partner for trusting in our solution and, of course, the entire eLearning Award 2014 judging panel for selecting our project as a winner."
