The Tech Edvocate awards Edsby Best Learning Management System of 2025 and Best Learning Analytics/Data Mining App or Tool of 2025

The Tech Edvocate, a U.S. education policy publication and advocacy group, has announced winners of its annual education technology awards. For the fourth year running, the Edsby digital learning platform for K-12 was named the best online platform for teaching, as best LMS for 2025. Edsby won previously in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Finalists this year included Google Classroom, Moodle and MaxBrain LMS.

Edsby was also awarded Best Learning Analytics/Data Mining App or Tool of 2025.

Voting and judging
The four month program solicited nominees from readers in June/July of 2024. Online voting from May 1, 2025 – August 1, 2025 gauged nominees’ popularity, but did not determine they would become a finalist or win an award, according to the publication. Finalists and winners were ultimately selected by a panel comprised of two edtech thought leaders, two PreK-12 teachers, one college professor, two K-12 administrators, one college administrator and two PreK-12 parents, the publication wrote.

The Richmond, VA-based Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America.
