Georgia Tech has been named a finalist in the 2025 Learning Impact Awards presented by 1EdTech, a global nonprofit committed to advancing educational technology innovation. The annual awards program recognizes outstanding, innovative uses of teaching and learning technology that address the most pressing challenges in education and lifelong learning.
Georgia Tech’s selection as one of seventeen finalists highlights the Institute’s continued leadership in leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance learning and underscores its commitment to creating real-world solutions that empower students, faculty, and educators.
The public is invited to help select an honoree – through online vote – in each of three Learning Impact Trend categories: Learning Environment Infrastructure; Teaching and Learning Innovation; and Educational Insight, Attainment, and Planning. Georgia Tech’s Digital Credential Journey: An Evolution from Internal to External Learner Badge Use, is a finalist in the latter category.
"It is an honor to be named a finalist in the Learning Impact Awards," said Ronnie Godshalk, associate dean of Learning Systems for the College of Lifetime Learning. "The College, in partnership with the Office of Information Technology (OIT) and early adopters across Georgia Tech, remains committed to validating learning outcomes and supporting learners throughout their educational and professional journeys. Digital credentialing is a key strategy in this effort."
“Georgia Tech's recognition as a finalist in the awards reflects the hard work and creativity of its faculty, staff, and students who are dedicated to shaping the future of learning,” said Warren Goetzel, director of Academic Technology and Engagement for OIT and director of External and Faculty Engagement for the Center for 21st Century Universities. “It is also a reflection of our successful office partnerships that continually work to transform education through innovation."
