Otus, a leading K-12 student data and assessment solution, is excited to announce that it has received two awards in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2024. Otus was honored in both the Primary and Secondary categories, underscoring its comprehensive approach to supporting schools in enhancing teaching, learning, and student outcomes.
The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence identify products that offer schools versatility, value, and effective solutions to tackle the evolving challenges of education. Judged by a panel of industry experts, the winning products were chosen based on their ability to foster innovative and effective teaching practices.
“With emerging technology like AI exploding just as ESSER funds are dwindling in schools nationwide, our readers count on Tech & Learning to curate the best products out there to support an equitable, effective learning environment,” says Tech & Learning Content Director Christine Weiser. “The winning products met our evaluation criteria to qualify for this prestigious list.”
Otus provides educators and school leaders with a single, user-friendly platform that integrates grading, progress monitoring, assessment, and data analytics, simplifying workflows for teachers while giving administrators a bird’s-eye view of their districts. This holistic view enables school leaders to make informed, data-driven decisions, track progress across schools, and intervene early when needed. Since its release in 2016, schools across the country have adopted Otus to streamline district operations while personalizing learning for students.
“As a former teacher, I know how challenging it can be to sift through the many edtech tools available and find the right fit for your school. That’s why I’m incredibly proud that Otus was selected by the judges to be included on this list alongside so many of our peers and partners. It’s an honor to know we’re helping educators and school leaders across the country make a real impact in their classrooms and districts.”
Otus continues to evolve to meet the demands of modern education. Recent updates include the introduction of the AI-powered question generator and redesigned Student and Family Gradebooks, aimed at saving educators time and enhancing communication between schools and families. These innovations, combined with Otus’ seamless integration of third-party tools and data, have made it an essential solution for K-12 schools.
Looking ahead, Otus plans to release additional AI features and integrations that will further empower educators to provide personalized learning experiences and deliver targeted interventions. With its comprehensive platform, Otus remains at the forefront of transforming K-12 education by simplifying data management and fostering student success.
As a winner of the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2024, Otus will be featured in Tech & Learning’s editorial coverage, celebrating the products making the biggest impact in education today.
