The EdTech Breakthrough Awards honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work, and success in a range of educational technology categories, including Student Engagement, School Administration, Adaptive Learning, STEM Education, e-Learning, Career Preparation, and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 1,750 nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.
When the coronavirus became a global pandemic, OpenSesame quickly mobilized to curate and provide organizations free access to courses about infection control and remote working to help prevent the spread of the virus and save lives. OpenSesame continued to update its offering in real time to reflect shifting business needs by adding professional development courses to support furloughed workers and later offering training to prepare employees to return to the workplace.
