The award for Best Emerging Education Technology Solution for Administrators recognizes the new and innovative technology solutions designed to solve an administrative problem or improve operational efficiency and processes. AI Insights, the embedded assistant within the Otus platform, empowers school leaders with instant answers to their most pressing questions about student performance. This innovation reimagines how administrators gather, interpret, and use data through real-time, accurate summaries and dashboards that allow them to track and analyze program performance and trends over time.

The Best Formative Assessment Solution category celebrates the most innovative and effective solutions for assessing student learning during the instructional process by providing real-time feedback, data-driven insights, and tools that help inform instructional decisions to improve student outcomes. Within the Otus platform, auto-scoring on multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions provides instant results, while standards-aligned rubrics help educators give timely, meaningful feedback on open-ended tasks. In addition, analytics tools let educators view progress by student, question, or standard, instantly guiding reteaching or enrichment decisions. Educators can also group students by performance levels and assign tailored interventions.

The award for Best Summative Assessment Solution honors tools or platforms that provide accurate, reliable, and insightful assessments of student performance at the end of an instructional period. Otus supports high-quality summative assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
