Mission
The Reporting and Visualization Work Group is being established to evaluate the needs of the community around reporting and visualization and propose a plan to offer a free toolset – that “lights up” the data standard, as part of Ed-Fi Core, that puts the Alliance resources to the most effective use. The mission of the RVWG is twofold: - Identify the classroom use cases for a reporting and visualization offering with the biggest impact on instructional outcomes.
- Provide to the Ed-Fi Alliance a roadmap for the proposed Ed-Fi Core Reporting and Visualization solution.
Goals
The initial focus of the RVWG in reporting and visualization is to: - Develop Create a framework to capture and analyze reporting needs of schools, districts, and other LEAs, to solicit use cases that can be used to create reporting and visualization solutions that support instructional improvement by teachers and their support staff.
- Propose a prioritized set of 1-2 use cases for implementation, release and maintenance as part of Ed-Fi Core (free offering) with the most significant impact on instructional outcomes.
- Develop a common glossary for calculations/metrics used around relevant information to report and options to present that information to users,
- Develop a set of requirements, screen layouts and definitions of calculations/metrics for the prioritized set of use cases.
- Develop a comprehensive proposed plan/roadmap of each use case for governance review and approval including:
- Asset deprecation plan: If group decides to retire Ed-Fi dashboards and create a new reporting and visualization options. This plan should include Impact/Gap Analysis for current users to evaluate the cost/benefit of moving away from their Ed-Fi dashboards implementation to the new offering.
- Upgrade path: If group decides to continue with the current codebase and modify it. Proposal should include upgrade path considerations. (if current assets)
- Technology stack
- Cost considerations
