ProQuest Gains CODiE Recognition for Dissertations Products and COVID-19 Response
Dissertations Bootcamp, ETD Dashboard named finalists in annual peer-reviewed awards program
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, May 11, 2021 – Two products from EdTech leader ProQuest are finalists in the 2021 SIIA CODiE Awards – an annual program that showcases the best products, technologies and services in software, information and business technology.
Acknowledged as the premier software and information industry awards for more than 35 years, the SIIA CODiE Awards are produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software, education, media and digital content industries. This year, both ProQuest CODiE finalists are products in the company’s robust dissertation and theses program. They include:
- Dissertations Bootcamp: eLearning Companions – finalist in the Best [COVID-19] Student Experience Response category. This free, on-demand e-learning resource helps graduate students virtually navigate the dissertations process with a user-centric, engaging learning experience.
- The Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) Dashboard – finalist in the Best Big Data Reporting & Analytics Solution category and the Best Business Information or Data Delivery Solution category. The ETD Dashboard provides a visual summary of an institution’s ETD usage to help measure and validate the success and impact of opening research to the world, enabling data-driven decisions about their institution’s research path.
“This year, these leaders helped our nation respond to the historic pandemic, literally enabling the continuity of our education system and the very survival of businesses, large and small,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA President. “Congratulations to this year’s finalists for demonstrating the vitality, resilience and importance of business-to-business and education technology.”
“ProQuest’s mission is to work with libraries, information providers and users to ensure students, faculty and research institutions thrive in a changing world,” said Oren Beit-Arie, Chief Strategy Officer at ProQuest. “Dissertations and theses are a significant part of this strategy. They provide a wealth of knowledge and information to the research community, and the Dissertations Bootcamp and ETD Dashboard are two no-cost programs that help universities create and use them. We’re honored that they both received this prestigious recognition from SIIA.”
