Edsby wins 2022 Tech Edvocate award

Publication names Edsby Best Learning Management System of 2022

The Tech Edvocate, a U.S. education policy publication and advocacy group, has announced winners of its annual education technology awards. The Edsby platform was named Best Learning Management System of 2022.

Edsby was also a finalist in the Best Learning Analytics/Data Mining App or Tool and Best Parent-Teacher/School Communication App or Tool categories.

Voting and judging
The four month program solicited nominees from readers in June/July of 2022. Online voting from May 1, 2022 – July 31, 2022 gauged nominees’ popularity, but did not signal 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.
