The Tech Edvocate awards Edsby Best Learning Management System of 2024

The Tech Edvocate, a U.S. education policy publication and advocacy group, has announced winners of its annual education technology awards. For the third year, the Edsby social learning platform was named Best Learning Management System. Edsby won previously in 2023 and 2022.

Finalists this year included Google Classroom, Moodle and MaxBrain LMS.

Voting and judging
The four month program solicited nominees from readers in June/July of 2024. Online voting from May 1, 2024 – August 9, 2024 gauged nominees’ popularity, but did not determine they would become a finalist or win an award, according to the publication. Finalists and winners were ultimately selected by a panel comprised of two edtech thought leaders, two PreK-12 teachers, one college professor, two K-12 administrators, one college administrator and two PreK-12 parents, the publication wrote.

The Richmond, VA-based Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America.
