Schools with Google Workspace for Education
Plus can now integrate their student information system (SIS) and
Google Classroom through Instructure's Elevate Data Sync
SALT
LAKE CITY, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Instructure, the maker of Elevate Data Sync, has entered into an
agreement with their partner, Google, that bridges the
integration gap for Google Classroom users with a robust and
comprehensive solution. With the integration, educational
institutions can now keep course data and rosters synchronized
between their student information systems (SIS or MIS) and Google
Classroom. This means that educators no longer must set up their
courses manually or have students use a join code. Teachers can now
simply click "accept" when their course is automatically
created.
Elevate Data Sync, Instructure's standards-based
interoperability solution that enables secure sharing of student,
staff and learning data, will create classes with all the right
students ahead of the first day of school and keep them updated if
a student changes classes. This automated and adaptable integration
can hopefully save teachers, students – and the professionals who
support them – significant amounts of time.
"Through our partnership with Elevate Data Sync by Instructure,
we have added the ability to sync the rosters from your student
information system (SIS) to Classroom, so classes can be
automatically created and updated, launching in 15 countries," said
Alisa Sommer, head of edtech
partnerships at Google. "Education data integration is a complex
problem, so we wanted an enterprise-class partner with deep
expertise and a cloud-based platform that supports multiple
standards and integration methods."
"This partnership with Google Classroom is an ideal example of
how Instructure's Learning Platform empowers partners and
institutions to innovate and integrate faster," said Kevin Turco, vice president of product
management at Instructure. "We're proud to be able to work with
Google to find a solution that makes the job of educators easier
while maintaining the highest level of privacy and security for
student data."
Schools with Google Workspace for Education Plus that are
interested in trying out the integration can sign up for the beta
and can find onboarding help on Instructure's Community page.
Schools can request more information about Google Workspace for
Education Plus if they don't have a subscription already.
Once signed up for the beta, admins will be able to
integrate class lists and timetables (rosters) directly with most
major student information systems or can opt to connect using
OneRoster or CSV files.
The solution is available and localized in Australia, Belgium, Luxembourg, The
Netherlands, Brazil,
Canada, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Japan,
New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United
Kingdom and the United
States.
