- There are two categories in which submissions can be made: the
- Product Division, for original software designed to enhance student
- learning, and the Curriculum Innovation Division, which focuses on
- the use of technology by rewarding excellence in teaching with
- computers. There is no requirement that original software be
- developed by the submitter to enter an application in the Curriculum
- Innovation category, just that the computer be applied in ways that
- meet an important instructional need. The innovation might be the
- creative classroom use of existing commercial software packages; it
- might be the adaptation of existing packages for educational use; or
- it might be built around new software designed by the applicant.
