Knowledge, Learning, Community

The projects recognized by WISE tend to be the sort of things foundations get excited over - you know, where "an innovative non-profit organization" creates a "learning platform designed to improve learning outcomes". That sort of thing. Awards go to things like the Queen Rania Foundation, Remake Learning, High Tech High School, TUMO Center, etc. Not that these are bad things. Not at all. But in the wide world of education, it's a bit of a (well-funded) niche. And it includes things like Edraak, a MOOC platform launched in 2014 that now reaches over 9,000,000 users across the Arab World.
