A SIIA CODiE Award is a prestigious honor as each winner was reviewed by educators and administrators, whose evaluations determined the finalists. SIIA members then reviewed the finalists and their votes were combined with the scores from the industry experts to select this year’s CODiE Awards winners.
“SIIA’s 2017 Education Technology CODiE Award winners were an amazing group this year, and demonstrated how these technologies are making an impact for students, faculty and administration,” said Bridget Foster, senior vice president and managing director of the Education Technology Industry Network (ETIN) of SIIA. “Each honoree deserves accolades and we are pleased to add our congratulations to all of this year’s CODiE Award winners.”

We’re humbled by the positive feedback from experts around the country during the review process.” Akian continued, “It’s heartwarming to be selected as the Best K-12 Enterprise Solution because it’s our mission to support all stakeholders in education – students, teachers, administrators, and all the great vendor partners they choose. ”
ClassLink uses open technology standards to provide single sign-on (SSO) into thousands of digital resources for education. ClassLink charges no fees to these providers helping them avoid assessing schools with unnecessary fees. ClassLink’s approach to open standards is increasingly the direction instructional technology leaders around the world are headed.
The winner announcement was made by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, during the annual Education Impact Symposium in San Francisco.
