Editor's Note Best of Elearning! — Our Gift to You E very year about this time, there seems to be a rush to get business-related projects and problems taken care of before the joyous holiday season — simply because we don't want those things hanging over our heads and weighing upon our shoulders for the week or two that we should be celebrating with our families. Some years, it even works out that way. But other years, we cannot escape wondering whether the grandiose plans we implemented this year will yield positive results next year. Because "next year" is right around the corner — afer we take down our ragged holiday decorations and banish our new bunny-rabbit pajamas to the attic. (If that sentence recalls the hilarious holiday exploits of Clark W. Griswold and Ralphie and Old Man Parker, well then, that's an early gif to you.) But, in honor of the holidays, we digress… Each year, in one fell swoop — our annual December/January "Best of Elearning!" issue — we try to show you what worked magnifcently for other learning professionals this year. We do it by revealing category winners and Awards of Excellence recipients in 30 diferent product categories. (See article beginning on page 27.) Tat knowledge, incidentally, might come in handy in January, when many of you receive your new budgets and decide how you're going to upgrade your learning programs with new initiatives and products. Terein lies another gif to you from the Elearning! magazine staf: 100 products that are selected as the best in their categories by the people who use them the most, our loyal readers and learning professionals around the world. With this gif in hand, the Elearning! Media Group team wishes you and yours a Happy Holiday and a very prosperous New Year: Jerry Roche, executive editor Catherine Upton, group publisher Joe DiDonato, editor-at-large Adam Weschler, manager of digital programs JW Upton, vice president Marguerite Hofman, event operations manager Kim Lewis, art director Beverly Miller, print production manager Amy Comley, customer service 8 December 2015 / January 2016 Elearning!
