WASHINGTON (June 12, 2017) – The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, announces the 160 finalists in education technology categories for the 2017 SIIA CODiE Awards. These finalists represent applications, products and services from educational software developers, digital content, online learning services and related technologies across the PreK-20 sector.
This year's program features 34 education technology categories, several of which are new or updated to reflect the latest industry trends and business models. Winners will be announced during a CODiE Award Winner Ceremony in San Francisco on July 26 at the Education Impact Symposium, hosted by the Education Technology Industry Network (ETIN), a division of SIIA.
“I am impressed by the level of innovation and creativity demonstrated by the 2017 CODiE award finalists. These products are opening doors for learners of all ages by combining new technologies with research about how people learn in order to respond to student and educator needs.” said Bridget Foster, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of ETIN.
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-reviewed awards program. Educators and administrators serve as judges for the first round review of all nominees. Their scores determine the SIIA CODiE Award finalists, and SIIA members then vote on the finalist products. The scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.
