Elevate securely provides K-12 institutions with real-time
data
SALT
LAKE CITY, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Instructure,
the maker of Canvas, today announced it has earned a renewed Ed-Fi
Managed Operational Data Store and API Platform Badge for Elevate
K-12 Analytics and the Ed-Fi API Provider Badge for Elevate
Standards Alignment (formerly Academic Benchmarks), both for
another two years. The distinction validates Instructure as an
ongoing, trusted Ed-Fi Operational Data Store, Analytics provider
and API partner.
Instructure's renewed badges reaffirm the ongoing contributions
the SaaS platform is making as part of the collaborative Ed-Fi
Community, which advocates for the effective use of data at scale
in education agencies of all sizes through a data standard. Because
Instructure's Elevate products leverage the Ed-Fi standard and
technology suite, any state or local education agency can more
effectively leverage their own data to support administrators,
educators, students and parents. Districts have hundreds of
applications in use and typically this data remains siloed and
unused. By seamlessly and securely bringing these data sources
together through a data standard; administrators, educators and
parents can more clearly see important data in real-time to support
student success.
Ed-Fi Alliance, the nonprofit that helps shape the tools, data
practices and security standards for educational data
interoperability in the country, has renewed for two more years the
ODS / API Platform Badge for Elevate K-12 Analytics,
Instructure's analytics application for teachers, administrators
and districts that turns data into insights to improve education
outcomes. In addition, Instructure continues to hold Ed-Fi Starter
Kit Implementation Partner badges for Elevate-K12 Analytics; and
for the API Provider Badge for Elevate Standards Alignment
(formerly Academic Benchmarks), the alignment and content-tagging
solution for learning companies. These badges demonstrate
Instructure's continued commitment to openness and interoperability
with the products that comprise the Instructure Learning
Platform.
"With an overload of data that comes from various sources,
schools and districts need to understand how technologies work
together," said Roshan Popal, Chief
Information Officer at Instructure. "Our partnership with the Ed-Fi
Alliance allows us to ensure educators access the right data in a
secure and flexible way that empowers them to make decisions that
help educators improve outcomes for all students, without the
investment required to build and maintain a custom data
warehouse."
Elevate K-12 Analytics combines key data from disparate sources
and systems including student information systems, multiple
assessment platforms and Canvas LMS to help educators understand
what is affecting student success—from attendance to engagement to
socio-economic indicators, and offers dashboards, charts, and other
visual indicators that are easy to explore, filter, and drill into,
so educators of all skill levels can see, analyze, and understand
data.
"School districts throughout the nation struggle to fully
understand and address their most pressing challenges without
secure, reliable and real-time data. Solving big challenges such as
student equity, chronic absenteeism and college and career
readiness are central to the mission of the Ed-Fi Alliance
Community," said Sean Casey, manager
of strategic partnerships, Ed-Fi Alliance. "Importantly, no one in
education can solve these huge complicated problems alone. Strong
partnerships with companies like Instructure are key: they have put
in the work to demonstrate their commitment to data standards, to
interoperability and to providing solutions that help their
customers get the most out of their technology investment. We are
proud to partner with Instructure and we congratulate them on the
renewal of these badged solution offerings that can provide great
value to members of the Ed-Fi community.
Instructure has been a longtime member of the Ed-Fi Community
and supporter of the movement to push for interoperability and data
standards. The Elevate Standards Alignment (formerly Academic
Benchmarks) solution has been Ed-Fi certified since 2018, and
Mastery Connect was the very first assessment management system to
become Ed-Fi certified in 2019. Elevate K-12 Analytics, powered by
Ed-Fi technologies has been awarded the Managed ODS/API Platform
Badge, and was the first product to earn Ed-Fi's badge—the Starter
Kit Implementation Partner Badge in 2021— that applies to three
distinct use cases: "Addressing Chronic Absenteeism," "Harnessing
the Power of Assessment Data," and "Ensuring Equitable Access for
Students."
