Cengage Learning, a US-based provider of teaching, learning and research solutions, has received two Software & Information Industry Associations (SIIA) Education CODiE Awards. MindTap was named Best Postsecondary Personalised Learning Solution and myNGconnect was honoured as the Best Science and Health Instructional Solution. The 28th Annual SIIA CODiE Awards, stated to be the only peer-reviewed honour in the industry, celebrate achievement and vision in software, education technology and digital content.
An SIIA CODiE Award win for educational technology companies is seen as an especially prestigious honour, as each award winner has been selected by a combination of educators, who act as initial judges by selecting finalists from among all nominees, and SIIA member-company peers, who vote to select the winners from among the finalists.
MindTap is an online, personalised learning experience built upon Cengage Learning content. By combining readings, multimedia, activities and assessments into a singular Learning Path, MindTap seeks to guide students through their course with ease and engagement. Instructors personalise the Learning Path by customising Cengage Learning resources and adding their own content and other solutions via apps. The MindTap framework seamlessly integrates with all major Learning Management Systems.
