Education Analytics in Action: Surfacing Insights to Improve Outcomes Moderator: Rob Abel, 1EdTech Consortium With the advent and success of standards such as Caliper Analytics® and xAPI, large-scale learning analytics is slated to become more widely adopted over the coming years. In this session, we discuss the learning analytics landscape with suppliers and institutional representatives. What are the recommended paths for those who want to deploy learning analytics today? What have early adopters found to be the most critical aspects to focus on when improving this technology for the future? Panelists:

LTI Resource Search [view presentation]
LTI Resource Search enables a standard way for students and teachers to be able to search and access one or more learning object repositories directly from their primary teaching or learning environment (instead of a separate "resource picker application"). Learning management systems and other educational platforms will thus be able to provide teacher and student users with seamless access to effective educational resources (instructional videos, games, assessments, quizzes) from the LMS' native user interface. Resource aggregators and publishers who support this standard will provide direct access to a wider set of users, without having to write custom connecting code to each LMS’ “app store." A standard way for educational applications to search resource aggregators and for educational content creators to surface their metadata will accelerate providing the right resource to each learner, enabling higher student achievement. LTI Deep Linking - the Consumer Conundrum
Virtually everyone in education has added richness to their teaching and learning experience by using a learning platform to launch a third-party tool. But what happens when a learner wants to use two core learning platforms at the same time? In this session, we'll explore the customer-driven LTI development work between Canvas and PebblePad. This project blurs the distinction between tool and consumer, enhancing the learning experience for a fast-growing user base.
LTI Names & Roles Provisioning [view presentation]
This presentation will outline how Turnitin has been integrated in the Cengage Mindtap platform using a spectrum of LTI specifications. It is intended to be practical and recipe oriented: which integration issues did we face? How did we solve it? Did the specifications gave us an answer? Did we have to go out-of-specs territory? We hope the attendants will learn from this cookbook and even propose their own ideas on how to address integration issues. |

Vetting from All Angles
In a world where Edtech solutions are flooding our institutions the need of ensuring secure and technologically sound as well as pedagogically and business supportive solutions is paramount. The App vetting project from 1EdTech and the GEER initiative are two endeavours taking on this challenge from different angles. Via the 1EdTech app vetting collaboration, leading institutions are sharing how they do the vetting and will ultimately set up an information resource via the 1EdTech product directory to enable institutions and suppliers to access the vetting results. GEER (Global Edtech Evaluation Repository) wishes to leverage local initiatives and assemble a community of institutions and aggregate these many good initiatives into a repository of previous and current Edtech tool assessments that can be distributed to other organisations achieving organic growth.

Accessible Publishing: a deep dive
Industry leaders, including publishers and content providers, have been searching for a gold standard for delivering universally accessible content. In this session, the EPUB 3.1 standard will be presented, and its advantages over other vehicles for content delivery discussed. The presentation will include a live demonstration of the creation of a compliant EPUB 3.1 e-text delivered accessibly on multiple desktop and mobile platforms.

Identity Management [view presentation]
The point of ID Management in education solutions and frameworks is becoming increasingly important with governments looking to regulate ID systems for schools and communities, and data security regulations changing. Exploring current development trends and possibilities, we’ll address framework solutions and the place of standards as we look into the future of ID management requirements from the perspective of service providers and vendors as well as governments and ministries.

Accessibility Training, Remediation, and Tracking: A Case Study with Ally [view presentation]
Designed to integrate with several LMS, the Ally tool allows faculty to scan their courses for accessibility problems, recommend ways to make materials more accessible, and provide institutional accessibility data. This presentation will discuss feedback from faculty, staff, and students and demonstrate how Ally is helping institutions meet their accessibility goals. |

Bootcamp: Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1EdTech is making available class libraries to make it simpler to adopt the LTI specification, including its associated extensions. This bootcamp will take participants through a worked example using sample code in PHP. It will demonstrate how to build an LTI Tool Provider application which can be launched from an LTI 1 Tool Consumer and take advantage of the improved user experience offered by LTI Deep Linking.
The Tool Provider application will contain a simple Caliper event so that the related LTI services can be used to show how events can be captured across system boundaries allowing a more holistic view of a user's activities to be gathered.
1EdTech recently announced the LTI Advantage initiative (https://www.imsglobal.org/lti-advantage-overview). Participants will be introduced to the components in LTI Advantage with an introduction to the new LTI 1.3 specification.
