NEW YORK – May 28, 2014—At the 2014 CODiE awards, known as the “Oscars” for education technology, Schoology took home three awards including the top honor of Best Education Solution. CODiEs, awarded by the Software Information and Industry Association (SIIA), recognize leading products in the business software, digital content, and education technology industries. Schoology not only won its category as Best K-12 Course or Learning Management System, but went on to win both the Best PK-12 Solution and the top award, Best Education Solution. Click to tweet.

All CODiE winners of the 28 education categories are automatically considered for the top three awards: Best PK-12 Solution, Best Postsecondary Solution, and ultimately, the Best Education Solution. These top award recipients are determined by the highest combined scores from two rounds of industry judging.
