Data Governance: Session 1

Mastering Data Integration Challenges in Education Technology

About the Event

A typical institute in the USA utilizes about 1,400 different applications, creating a challenging landscape for seamless data integration and communication. We’re joined by esteemed members of the EDM Council as we dive into the complex world of data transfer and interoperability in education. Despite adherence to established interoperability standards, educators, edtech companies, and publishers frequently encounter challenges. These often stem from issues that go beyond the protocol layer, such as inconsistencies in data models and taxonomy.

Takeaways from this event
  • Understand the extent of the problem faced by school districts and higher education institutions in managing numerous applications.
  • Explore how standards like LTI, while useful, only scratch the surface of the underlying issues.
  • Learn how data models and taxonomy impact data transfer and interoperability, creating bottlenecks that disrupt the seamless integration of educational technologies.
  • Learn about the best practices and guidelines provided by the EDM Council to improve data governance, quality, and interoperability across various systems and platforms.
