EPUB Accessibility and EDUPUB Alliance Summit
Establishing a globally interoperable, accessible, open ecosystem for e-Textbooks and other Digital Learning Materials via EPUB 3, Educational Sector Standards and the Open Web Platform
The goal of this Summit is to bring together major players across the global K-20 education segment, including: publishers, institutions, platform and solution providers, standardization organizations, content distributors, and accessibility organizations. The focus is to help advance the effective adoption and use of e-textbooks and other digital learning materials by improving interoperability and baseline capabilities via broad adoption of enabling technical standards.
The EPUB Accessibility and EDUPUB Alliance Summit will provide an update on the emerging education profile of EPUB 3 with a primary focus on accessibility on Day 1 and a series of detailed technical sessions on Day 2 across a range of topics (LTI launch & outcomes, analytics, accessibility)

1EdTech Bootcamps
1EdTech Bootcamps are designed to go in-depth on the use of 1EdTech standards. (Requires separate registration)
Designing the Best Learning Tools Interoperability Integrations - Wednesday - 24 February: 9am - 4pm
Over the past few years, the 1EdTech Learning Tools Interoperability® (LTI®) standard has become the norm for third-party tools and content to be integrated with a Learning Platform. Its simplicity has been one of its strengths and led to its rapid adoption, but it might also be seen as a reason behind a wide variation in the quality of the integrations being built.
OneRoster, the breakthrough 1EdTech standard that radically improves the time and cost to roster K-12 apps, tools and web-based content, has been moving fast. Based on aggressive adoption and feedback from several leading districts and supplier members of 1EdTech, version 1.1 will soon be ready for conformance certification.
OneRoster gives districts complete control of their data and how they wish to use it to authorize/provision district applications, while eliminating the cost and complexity of the myriad specialized formats previously supported by most districts.
It is no surprise that 1EdTech district members are leading the OneRoster revolution. 1EdTech expects that more than 30 leading school districts will be adopting OneRoster in Fall of 2016.
At the February quarterly meeting OneRoster session, leading OneRoster supporters, such as Classlink, HMH, McGraw-Hill, Pearson, SAFARI Montage and others will be there to help the 1EdTech community members learn how to implement OneRoster and perform conformance certification.1EdTech Quarterly Meeting
