1EdTech members and staff participating in the AI-ALOE project will present at iGEPA on January 29, 2025.
How An Open Standards Data Pipeline Supports Personalized Education for All Students
This session explores how open standards have the opportunity to revolutionize data pipelines that track and evaluate the longitudinal impact of disparate Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The Georgia Institute of Technology is in its fourth year of a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to study AI for Adult Learning in Online Education (AI-ALOE). GA Tech is one of 25 AI Institutes and Projects across the US- all of which have one common challenge: collecting longitudinal data in a connected data architecture to study the impact of AI on its users. By leveraging interoperability frameworks such as 1EdTech’s Edu-API, Caliper, and Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), this approach enables seamless integration of data from diverse AI-driven tools, including adaptive learning platforms, virtual tutors, and content recommendation systems. Attendees will gain insights into how these open standards facilitate the collection, aggregation, and analysis of holistic learner data across time and systems, empowering educators and researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in enhancing learner engagement, skill acquisition, and long-term educational outcomes. Practical examples, challenges, and best practices will be shared to illustrate how open standards support scalable and ethical research in the evolving landscape of adult online education.
