What is the ComputerWorld Honors Program?

Established in 1988, The Computerworld Honors Program brings together the principals of the world's foremost information technology companies to recognize the achievements of the organizations around the world, whose visionary applications of information technology promote positive social, economic and educational change.

Each year, members of the Computerworld Honors Chairmen's Committee, a group of 100 Chairmen/CEOs from leading global IT companies, submit nominations for organizations they feel demonstrated extraordinary use of information technology.

StudyDog, the maker of reading programs for young children, has been selected as a 2006 ComputerWorld Honors Program Laureate.

Why Was StudyDog Selected?

StudyDog has created very innovative technology to addresses the most pressing educational need of young children, learning to read. StudyDog has developed a new class of on-demand educational software that emulates the performance of the ideal human teacher (i.e.; an expert), but with much less cost and more consistency and availability. The StudyDog on-demand system is the first to incorporate reading assessments, validated and correctly designed and scoped curriculum, the ability to keep a child engaged, and the technology to manage, measure and report reading progress for parents.
