Imperatives and Workstreams

 

How We Power Learner Potential Now and Into the Future

Our united 1EdTech community is committed to building an open, trusted, and innovative digital learning ecosystem at every level. This global effort is guided by our four strategic leadership imperatives and carried out by our six workstreams.

These imperatives and workstreams in various combinations help educators and edtech suppliers advance what's happening across the education landscape today while preparing for tomorrow. It's how together we power learner potential.

 

Four Leadership Imperatives

  • We achieve digital learning experiences that rise above the norm, support learner personalization with usable insights, and share achievements.
     

Six Workstreams

  • We create a secure, scalable, and best-in-class digital learning ecosystem to serve the needs of all learners.
     

Open & Trusted Ecosystem

  • We connect your entire ecosystem with open plug-and-play integrations to save valuable time and resources.

Imperative side

 

 

Most people don’t realize how complicated it can be to integrate different platforms.

As a result of 1EdTech interoperability standards, data can be shared more easily and securely, providing our district more control over the data.

Students and teachers benefit from single sign-on to the tools and resources being used in the classroom.

Our community of K-12, higher education, and edtech suppliers know how to use their expertise to develop and leverage 1EdTech's imperatives and workstreams to pave the way for an open, trusted, and innovative edtech ecosystem. 

 

 

 

1EdTech brings value by having all parties at the table. It’s a place for vendors and educators to come together and meet in a space that isn’t a sales or support call. We make sure we have the right requirements, vendors can express potential difficulties, and in the end, they get more marketable products, and we get better tools.
