"The Best of E-Learning! program offers professionals a reliable resource to learn from users and gather information that influences their future purchases," explained Upton.
The publication asked more than 50,000 e-learning professionals to share their opinions. Ballots were cast over the past 3 months by the readers of E-Learning! Magazine, e-zine, E-Learning! e-newsletter and E-Learning! Alert, as well as visitors to E-Learning!'s Web site.

"This open vote enables the users of both the GeoLearning system and those of our competitors to cast a ballot. It's an important measure for the products in our industry. For us to come out on top again is continued validation that the usability and flexibility of our LMS and the superiority of GeoLearning's Software as a Service delivery model creates bottom-line performance results for our customers."
