It’s been exactly a month since I announced our last award (Best of 2006 E-Learning Awards), and today it’s time to announce yet another industry recognition: We’ve won both the Platinum and Gold awards in two of four categories in the eLearning Guild Immersive Learning Simulations (ILS) Member’s Choice Awards.

Articulate Rapid E-Learning Studio Pro has taken home the Platinum in the Games Tools — Satisfaction, category, and Articulate Presenter has been awarded the Gold in the Games Tools — Market Share category.

What’s especially cool about this award (and the last one from E-Learning! Magazine) is that it’s chosen by the people who actually use our software — you, the e-learning designers, managers, trainers, and subject matter experts of the world — and not by a small panel of industry experts who might not use our tools on a daily basis. Now that’s pretty cool.

“We wanted these awards to have a lot of credibility, and not just represent the opinions of a handful of people,” said Steve Wexler, the Guild’s director of research and emerging technologies. “More than 4,600 eLearning Guild members have told us which tools they use and have told us what they think of these tools and the awards were based on the opinions of these e-Learning professionals — professionals that are passionate about e-Learning.“

Congrats yet again to the Articulate team, and thank you to our thousands of worldwide customers who have selected us for this newest honor!
