2018 Readers' Choice Awards
Campus Technology readers vote on the best technologies in use at their institutions.
There is a huge array of technologies involved in the business of higher education — from back-end administrative systems to hands-on tools in the classroom. And no matter what the product category, everybody seems to have a favorite. For the fourth year running, we've asked our readers to vote on the best tech in use at their institutions — here's what they told us.
Most Valuable in the Institution This Year
Platinum: Guidebook
What readers said: "Guidebook allows us to host conferences, training sessions and move-in day processes. It gives us the ability to communicate with our students and allows updates easily and quickly when there are changes to the schedule."
"Through our Guidebook mobile app, we've been able to connect with families 24/7 and provide them the resources they crave in the palm of their hand."
Gold: Terra Dotta
What readers said: "Terra Dotta, because it is a great tool for online applications for the Study Abroad office."
"We've had the Terra Dotta software for a while, but added new features including AlertTraveler. It is such a critical part of our operations in keeping track of all of our travelers and supporting them quickly and effectively."
