For the second consecutive year Monash University's portal my.monash has won the Hitwise Online Performance Award in recognition of outstanding online business achievement.

This category includes the websites of all educational institutions and places people go to learn, such as universities, schools and TAFE colleges. It also encompasses the websites of any organisation dealing with official education administration.
