Edu-API European Task Force

Colin Smythe, Chief Architect at 1EdTech Consortium
 
Edu-API is a standard model for the integration of core education enterprise data within higher education. This new standard is being developed in the international Edu-API Task Force. Visit the Edu-API Forum for task force notes.
 
There is a significant opportunity for 1EdTech Europe and other members that have indicated they would like to participate in this task force to help shape this important specification. To accommodate this, we have started a European Task Force on Edu-API, that will work in parallel to the existing task force. Colin Smythe will be the link between the two teams.
