“We work hard to solicit client ideas and user feedback for all our products. We even go as far as polling groups of users and taking a vote!†affirms ClassLink CEO Berj Akian. “We always tell the educators who use our products that these are their awards and the recognition is theirs as much as ours because their guidance helps mold our products. We’re especially pleased that Inquiry, our newest product designed to provide instructional technology usage reporting, is a first time finalist.â€
Nominated products underwent an extensive review by subject matter experts, analysts, journalists and others with deep experience in the field; each of the 31 categories was narrowed from the 458 overall nominations to (in most cases) three finalist products.
