MITX Finalist: Contexticon

We’re pleased to announce that our Contexticon site for the New Testament Language Project has been selected as a finalist in the Education and Learning category for the 14th Annual MITX Interactive Awards. Held annually by the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange, the MITX Awards recognize excellence in the creation of web innovations designed, produced, or developed in New England.

“The MITX Awards celebrates the union of the big idea and innovation. Every year the synergy between creative ideas and technology becomes more transparent. Our finalists are some of the world’s most forward thinking marketing and creative experts who help national and local brands connect with their audiences through the use of technology” said Kiki Mills, president of MITX. “MITX is proud to be the foundation for our region’s vibrant digital community, and to recognize and keep our creative minds, marketing strategists, technology developers and consumers at the forefront of evolution.”

The Contexticon is an online learning environment that enables modern readers to better understand biblical writings in their original contexts. The target audience for the project includes students and scholars of religious studies, clergy, and bible study groups. A highly intuitive and immersive front-end interface was developed in Flash. A customized back-end system was developed to faciliate updating by bible scholars from around the United States. A subscription-based e-commerce system was also part of this project.
