Our online event was very well attended and great fun. Sally Eaton gave a moving and inspiring talk about motivation and Kevin Duala gave words of thanks and admiration to all those who were nominated before announcing the names of the hard-working, inspiring, and greatly admired award winners and runners up. The judges shared how they had a tough task on their hands awarding just one winner for each category after reading through lovely comments from the colleagues of those nominated. The entries showed just what a fantastic job so many people in the assessment world are doing.

Many spoke of the resilience, commitment, and encouragement of those nominated, and how they made themselves available to support staff and students during these last 2 tough years coping with Covid restrictions.

Laser Learning are proud to be associated with these people and the centres they work for.

Now for the names of the winners and runners up.

Huge congratulations to you all.
