Cengage was named a 2021 "Trendsetter of the Year" by EdTech Digest for helping students save money on course materials with its Cengage Unlimited subscription, and for its expanded support for learners, educators and job seekers during the pandemic. The EdTech Digest Awards recognize companies and people in and around education for outstanding contributions in transforming education through technology. Nearly 3 million students have saved more than $270 million on textbooks and course materials since Cengage Unlimited launched in 2018. When the pandemic closed colleges campuses for in-person learning last spring, Cengage immediately responded to help students, educators and the many people who were suddenly unemployed. The company opened up free access to Cengage Unlimited for students and educators for the term. More than 300,000 students benefitted, and Cengage helped thousands of instructors move more than 40,000 courses online in just a few weeks.
