According to Kevin Hogan, editorial director for NewBay Media's Tech & Learning Group, "Once again this year, the Tech & Learning judges examined hundreds of entries to select the winners of 2015’s Awards of Excellence. This wasn't just checking off spec sheets and surfing other people's reviews. Each product was handled and scored individually. These companies can be proud that their products were selected as winners by this prestigious team of judges."
The New Product winners will be featured in the December 2015 awards issue of Tech & Learning Magazine.
