Course Overview

Description

This course comes after the deployment of the Ed-Fi platform and encompasses everything a LEA technical FTE needs to know to push an initial payload of data to their Ed-Fi API. This course will also introduce the idea of a Jupyter Notebook as a method of exploring an Ed-Fi API and have the student utilize one to verify that data has landed in their ODS.

Who Should Enroll

• FTE data folks in an education organization who are enrolled in the Analytics Engineering Fundamentals Pathway

Course Outcome

By the end of this course, Academy students will be able to: 

• Comfortably move between their SIS's Ed-Fi module, Ed-Fi's public Swagger, and the Ed-Fi SIS certification requirements drawing connections between each one
• Create vendors and applications in the Admin App as a means of generating Ed-Fi API credentials for their SIS
• Map their descriptors in the SIS (if applicable)
• Push data to their /schools endpoint
• Run an API call in a Jupyter Notebook to confirm data is in their ODS

Learning Objectives

The learning objectives for this course are: 

• Understand how API endpoints relate to each other through associations and reference
• Understand descriptor mapping, the various approaches, and be able to identify which one is right for them
• Comfortably push data from their SIS to their Ed-Fi API and verify it has arrived
