This content was written prior to the renaming of Watermark products in July 2021, and refers to an old product name. To learn more about the new names for Watermark products, read our press release here.
For 36 years, the SIIA (Software & Information Industry Association) CODiE Awards
have honored thousands of software, education, information and media products for
achieving excellence. Each nomination receives a detailed review by industry experts
including executives and analysts, media, bloggers, investors, and, for the education
categories, educators and administrators. Products are judged against category-specific
criteria so the very best rise to the top and are named finalists.
Watermark is proud to announce that EvaluationKIT has been named as a finalist in
“Best Data Management Solution” category. EvaluationKIT is fully aligned to an
institution’s course evaluation and survey needs, capturing the data needed to improve
course corrections and long-term improvements. The software integrates with all LMSes
and other campus systems to centralize survey processes, ensuring consistent data
collection across an institution over time, while allowing departments and faculty to
directly manage key tasks and tailor inputs. System administrators can automate all
aspects of the survey process to streamline efforts, including controlling survey
availability timelines at the course level and syncing with enrollment add/drops in real
time.
With the CODiE Awards, finalists receive a second round of review by SIIA members
between May 10 and May 21. Winners will be announced during a virtual celebration on
June 22 + 23. Register here for the free Ed Tech CODiE Award Winner Announcement

“The CODiE Awards recognize the most exciting and transformative products in Ed
Tech,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA President. “This year, these leaders helped our nation
respond to the historic pandemic, enabling learners, educators, administrators and
parents to remain connected to each other and to critical educational resources via an
array of innovative services and platforms. Congratulations to this year’s finalists for
demonstrating the vitality, resilience and importance of this important industry.”
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry’s only peer-recognized awards program.
Educators and administrators serve as judges and conduct the first-round review of all
education nominees. Their scores determine the SIIA CODiE Award finalists which
accounts for 80% of the overall score. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products
and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.
