The independent Academics' Choice Awards program and its seal of excellence are recognized worldwide by consumers and educational institutions as a mark of genuinely effective learning tools that stimulate the mind and provide potential for the student to fully develop higher order thinking skills. In addition, Sora was also a recipient of the 2019 Academics' Choice Smart Media Award. The full list of TIME winners can be found here. The result: 100 groundbreaking inventions that are changing the way we live, work, play and think about what's possible. Each contender, including Sora, was then evaluated on key factors, including originality, effectiveness, ambition and influence. To be considered for a Best Inventions honor, TIME solicited nominations across a variety of categories from editors and correspondents around the world, as well as through an online application process. "With our district's instructional mobile device program and the offline reading option, Sora enhances the choice reading component of our Language Arts curriculum and breaks down the walls of the physical library so all our students have access to current, engaging, and high-quality ebooks and audiobooks." "Sora is fantastic for its ease of use, 24/7 accessibility, and option to seamlessly connect with public library collections," said Jenny Takeda, District Librarian at Beaverton School District ( Oregon). According to TIME, Sora "lets kids check out e-books and audiobooks in multiple languages as they would at a library, make notes as they read, and share those notes with their teacher or classmates." In addition, "teachers can also track the time students spend reading," which increases accountability and helps students overcome reading challenges and increase comprehension. The Sora app, which achieved record highs in 2019 in student usage, provides students anytime-anywhere access to ebooks and audiobooks from their school's digital collection as well as their local public library. This achievement illustrates the app's exceptional originality and influence proven to inspire students to read more books. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - OverDrive Education's student reading app Sora completed a record-breaking year as one of TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2019.
