EdTech Leader Prepworks® Receives National Awards for Third Consecutive Year


Prepworks (www.myprepworks.com), a leading education technology and tutoring company, received three national Education Software Review Awards (EDDIES) for best online learning programs in Algebra, Civics and ACT. In addition to the three EDDIES, Prepworks was selected as the Awards Showcase winner for the 20th Annual EDDIES. Recognized for its innovative use of adaptive technology to deliver a personalized learning experience to each student, Prepworks continues to expand on its Learning Positioning System® technology. According to the panel of industry experts and peer judges, Prepworks product "interface is elegant, yet simple, and employs adaptive technology…to provide competency-based, performance-driven, and intelligently automated personalized instruction (including real test questions) based on each student's needs."



The 20th Annual Education Software Review Awards seeks to identify innovative and content-rich programs and websites that augment the classroom curriculum and improve teacher productivity. Winners are selected from titles submitted by publishers worldwide.

Prepworks has received these renowned awards for three consecutive years. Since the launch of its online platform in 2011, the company has received a total of 15 national and worldwide awards, including six Best Educational Software Awards (BESSIES), four previous EDDIES, and two Tech & Learning Awards.


"We are very proud to continue to be recognized by our industry leaders with these prestigious awards," said Tracy LaFlamme Ortega, Prepworks founder and CEO. "With thousands of students across 26 states and 18 countries, we are changing the way students learn and achieve both in the classroom and on high-stakes test. These accolades by our peers not only reaffirm that we are defining new standards of excellence in education technology, but also remind us of the impact that effective technology has on the lives of students across the globe."

Prepworks LPS serves as a GPS for education, as it employs a performance-driven model that translates the science of one-to-one tutoring to a highly scalable and affordable online platform. The mobile, cloud-based system evaluates each student's starting point in each lesson area, gathers hundreds of data points as the student completes activities, and re-calculates the student's course in real time to ensure that students achieve their personal best scores, whether that be minimum competency or near-perfect mastery.

"Educational technology is quickly proving to be an effective, critical tool in classrooms across the world," said LaFlamme. "Today, we can proudly say that Prepworks LPS is a leading educational platform, helping to guide students to academic success."
