In July 2003, Atlantech and the asTTle project won the Computerworld 2003 Award for Excellence in the Use of IT in Education: Tertiary, Community and Commercial.
In making the award to asTTle, the judges specifically rated it best for innovation. This point was echoed by the Minister of Education, Trevor Mallard, in welcoming the asTTle win. "The Auckland University team have produced a tool of immense benefit to teachers that must surely have significant international potential. Using asTTle, teachers can quickly and easily check how well they are making progress in a way where the whole focus is on helping kids do better which is of course what we are most keen to see achieved."
"This is the best new education investment this government has made."
- Minister of Education, Trevor Mallard
