Parents

Teachers have access to quality digital resources. Instruction shifts from teacher-centered to facilitated models that support learner agency (active learning)

HISD Central Administration lays the foundation of systems, data and communications, to enable flexible learning spaces and UDL

Principals determine school level content needs and make educated decisions about digital resources

Parents partner with students and their schools to access and interact with digital content to support anytime, anywhere learning

THE ROLE OF INTEROPERABILITY

• Why are standards needed?– Competing priorities– Constrained public funding – Immature industry solutions driven by vendors

• Need: Shift to partnership models

• IMS Global– LTI, Common Cartridge and thin Common Cartridge– QTI– OneRoster

• Platforms – expanding options– Non-profit, vendor agnostic platforms vs proprietary platforms– LORs, content curation

GAP – WHAT DO WE NEED TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION?

• How are you providing data to all your stakeholders?

• What will we do with assessments, in light of new developments?

• What keeps you from building a coherent ecosystem? (gaps)

• What about Analytics?
