Maple 7 and Maple PowerTools™ Each Win an EDDIE Award!

On August 1st of this year, Waterloo Maple announced that its flagship product, Maple 7, had won the Educational Software Review Award (EDDIE) in the maths category, post-secondary level, for the second year in a row. In addition, Maple PowerTools, a free online resource of Maple application packages and academic course materials, was submitted for the first time this year and won the award in the educational Web site category for post-secondary mathematics.

The EDDIEs, sponsored by the California-based ComputED Gazette, aim to recognise innovative and content-rich programs that are appropriate to augment the classroom curriculum and improve teacher productivity. Winners are selected from titles submitted by software publishers from around the world and are based on academic content, potential for broad classroom use, technical merit, subject approach and quality of management system.

"The dual EDDIEs are a confirmation that our efforts have made a real difference in maths education," states Jim Dell, Product Marketing Manager for Waterloo Maple Inc. "We are very honoured, and look forward to improving our products and services even further."

Maple 7 and Maple PowerTools are among the titles that are made available to school districts teachers and the public through ComputED Learning Lab and the Educational Software Preview Service of San Diego Center for Educational Technology, a nonprofit organisation based in Cardiff, California.
