Nearly 40 years ago, the CODiE Awards were established so that pioneers of the budding software industry could evaluate and honor each other’s work. Today, the Awards continue to honor excellence in leading technology products and services. At Pearson, we've been creating innovative learning experiences since the Awards began in 1986, and our latest award-winning instructional solutions are evidence that we’re never satisfied with the status quo.
I'm proud to announce that Pearson has won the following CODiE awards for learning technology:
- MyLab® Math and MyLab Statistics won the CODiE Award for “Best Higher Education Mathematics Instructional Solution,” which recognizes the best instructional solution that offers mathematics curriculum and content for students in higher education math subjects.
- Revel for Political Science/History/Sociology/Psychology won the CODiE Award for“Best Social Sciences/Studies Instructional Solution,” which recognizes the best instructional solution for social sciences/social studies curricula and content for students in the higher education or PK-12 markets.
- NCCERConnect was a finalist for “Best College & Career Readiness Solution,” which recognizes the best digital product or service that develops 21st Century workforce skills and knowledge for students.
MyLab Math and MyLab Statistics use data-driven guidance to improve results for students, with engaging, interactive content by expert authors that better helps them absorb and understand difficult concepts from developmental math to differential equations.
For instructors, MyLab offers a comprehensive gradebook with enhanced reporting functionality that makes it easier for them to understand which students are struggling, and which topics they struggle with most.
In reviewing MyLab, a 2022 CODiE Award Judge noted that the "level of customization and personalization is the standout feature. It is very cohesive and thought through. The engagement aspect is another highlight, especially the visualization aspects, the videos, and tutorials.”
Similarly, students experience greater success with MyLab. “I’ve noticed in classes that I’ve used MyLab that I retain more information and am able to apply the concepts that I learn much more easily, giving me a higher boost of confidence going into exams,” commented Sydney Fredette, a student at California Polytechnic State University.
More than a digital textbook, Revel delivers an engaging blend of author content, media, and assessment. With Revel, students read and practice in one continuous experience. Interactive content and assessments integrated throughout the narrative provide opportunities for students to explore and apply concepts. Revel is also mobile and user-friendly, so students can learn on the go — anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Jeffery Byrd, a full-time professor at the University of Northern Iowa, points to student engagement as a key benefit. "I think students are more engaged. I think it really has to do with the fact that they are not just reading a book; they have videos, audio reading to them, and interactive components...”
