With a meaningful increase in our customer resources and programs driven by our swift response to COVID-19, we are also thrilled to be a finalist in the Customer Experience category for EdTech. D2L is deeply committed to transforming the way the world learns, and we admire the work of organizations like SIIA, which organize assessments and inspire continuous improvement in this important market sector.”
Acknowledged as the premier awards program for the software and information industries for over 35 years, the SIIA CODiE Awards are produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software, education, media, financial information and digital content industries. D2L was honored as one of 152 finalists across the 42 education technology categories.
“The CODiE Awards recognize the most exciting and transformative products in EdTech,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA president. “This year, these leaders helped our nation respond to the historic pandemic, enabling learners, educators, administrators and parents to remain connected to each other and to critical educational resources via an array of innovative services and platforms. Congratulations to this year’s finalists for demonstrating the vitality, resilience and importance of this important industry.”
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry’s only peer-recognized awards program. Educators and administrators serve as judges and conduct the first-round review of all education nominees. Their scores determine the SIIA CODiE Award finalists, accounting for 80% of the overall score. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products, and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Business Technology category winners will be announced during an online winner announcement celebration on June 23, 2021.
