ATI’s Engage® Series Recognized with Tech & Learning Award of Excellence: Back to School 2026

ATI's Engage® Series has been named a winner in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2026, within the Higher Education category!

What is ATI's Engage Series?

The Engage Series gives nursing students an interactive digital learning environment featuring case studies, videos, podcasts and real-world clinical scenarios, while providing educators with pre-built resources to deliver outcomes-aligned instruction without adding to their workload. Throughout the learning journey, Claire AI® serves as a personal automated assistant that draws directly from the content students are studying to help clarify concepts, answer questions, and provide a safe space to build understanding and confidence.

Students using Engage resources have demonstrated significantly higher clinical judgment scores than non-users, with 97% of nurse educators saying ATI positively influences students' clinical judgment. Engage embeds learning into interactive modules, virtual simulations, unfolding case studies, EHR documentation and NCLEX-style questions, giving students repeated opportunities to apply knowledge, navigate real-world scenarios and practice the six clinical judgment functions assessed through the NCLEX.

Claire AI also demonstrated measurable faculty efficiencies: educators using its AI-supported assessment capabilities created and refined assessment items 67% faster, reducing average development time from 11 minutes to three minutes per item. By surfacing student and cohort-level knowledge gaps, Claire AI helps faculty target instruction and remediation to individual needs while setting clearer expectations for student success.

More broadly, Engage lessens faculty workload and allows educators to dedicate more time to high-value teaching, while giving students continuous opportunities to build the knowledge, clinical judgment, and confidence required for licensure and real-world clinical practice.

What are the Tech & Learning Awards?

The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence highlight the products and solutions making a meaningful difference to educators and learners. Specifically, the Back to School awards recognize products and solutions that demonstrate versatility, value, innovation, and the ability to address real-world challenges across today's education landscape.

The judges this year said that they were especially impressed by the "quality, innovation and practical impact demonstrated by this year's winners," and emphasized that each product has been shown to "support educators and learners in meaningful ways."

With the nursing education landscape rapidly changing, today's students expect flexible, technology-enabled learning, while educators face increasing workloads and pressure to prepare graduates for the reality of modern clinical practice. The Engage Series was built for this environment. Rather than relying on outdated textbooks, it provides an interactive digital learning experience that evolves alongside nursing practice, giving students opportunities to apply concepts and practice clinical decision-making throughout their education. This award recognizes that achievement and the impact it is having on students and educators.
