Nimble’s annual Nimble Community Day and Awards took place on 14 September at Stonehouse Court Hotel in Gloucestershire. Sessions were led by Learning Adviser Hannah Davies, with special guest speaker Kevin Aires from Cadenz Video Academy with his session on The Power of Video: Strategies for Next-Level Learning Engagement. Nimble customers had the opportunity to explore and discuss topics such as Maintaining Quality and Consistency in Your Elearning, The Elearning Lifecycle: Beyond the Course, and Demystifying ChatGPT for Learning.
The Nimble Awards winners were announced during Nimble Community Day. The awards, which showcase excellence in elearning, were presented by Nimble’s Founder and Managing Director Neil Hyde, and Alex Hathway, Commercial Director. The event was compèred by Learning Adviser Hannah Davies.
Insightful video interviews and case studies of the finalists in each category were played at the event. These videos, and comments from the judging panel, summarised and brought to life for the audience why they were all chosen as finalists and ultimately winners.
Neil Hyde and Alex Hathway announced the three winners from the impressive list of finalists for the categories: Course of the Year, Positive Business Impact and the new category for 2023, Positive Community Impact. Neil said of this year’s sixth annual awards, “The quality of this year’s entries has been outstanding, resulting in our most hotly contested awards to date. The Nimble Awards celebrate excellence in the field of digital learning and sets a benchmark that we hope will inspire others to attain.”
The 2023 Nimble Awards winners and their categories are:

Judges looked for a course that demonstrates sound instructional design principles, delivered in a creative or engaging way. They looked for evidence of working towards a project brief with key stakeholder engagement throughout, and a clear focus on learner experience. Evidence against success criteria was also considered by the judges.

Positive Community Impact
This award was presented to the organisation or individual demonstrating significant community impact through the use of elearning; this could be within the local community, or as part of a wider positive societal force for change.
All types of organisations were invited to apply, but this category is particularly suited to charities and non-profit organisations, or to businesses that have completed a community or sustainability project.
