The Every Student Succeeds Act and the National Education Technology Act Plan have placed emphasis on seamless IT systems integration, data interoperability, and data analytics as crucial components of school ecosystems. Policymakers are finally realizing what school IT professionals have known for years -- these systems need to talk to each other. But integration often is easier said than done. In this session, Oxford City Schools will share how Brightbytes (Authentica Solutions) helped resolve serious IT integration challenges it faced. Together, Khristie Goodwin, Sherita Hayes, Gary Carabin, and Kris Snover will present a case study on how together they resolve the first level of data challenges -- seamless integrations and data interoperability -- and the second level of data challenges - actionable data and learning analytics -- using BrightByte’s education DataSense.
