Purpose
The purpose of the Student Information Systems SIG is to get feedback from SIS systems that can be used to is to improve the Ed-Fi API standards and the open-source Ed-Fi technology. It will assist the Ed-Fi effort in prioritizing changes that can have the greatest impact on adding efficiency to development and operation of Ed-Fi-based data exchange by these systems. The SIG also seeks to provide a forum for SIS vendors to share best practice that can lower costs for SIS systems and raise the level of community benefits from Ed-Fi-based data exchange.
Goals
The goals of this SIG:
| Excerpt |
|---|
- Provide input on the evolution of and roadmap for Ed-Fi API standards in the data domains that SIS systems manage, by proposing changes or evaluating proposals to change that contractual interface. This would include suggestions for Ed-Fi Certification and Badge programs that help assess and publish compliance.standards and Certification, to help ensure these reflect SIS capabilities and industry best practice.
- Provide input on the evolution of and roadmap for the related open-source Ed-Fi technology , in areas beyond those defined by Ed-Fi standards but that have an impact on SIS systems roadmap, to help ensure its features support needs critical to SIS systems and the vendor community more broadly (e.g., specific authorization configuration, API performance or performance monitoring, roadmap and release practices, etc.)
- Identify community best practice and assist the Ed-Fi Alliance in monitoring and improving alignment to that best practiceEd-Fi standards. This includes working suggesting ways to monitor and improve API extension modeling practices in the field and suggesting the alignment of state and other Ed-Fi-based specifications with Ed-Fi's standards, and includes proposing improvements to programmatic work of the Alliance with State Education Agencies, Managed Service Providers, System Integrators and other to align the community to reflect and align to best practice.
- Allow Serve as a community-of-practice for SIS systems to share best practice in development operations or other aspects of their learn from each other, especially but not exclusively in the area of Ed-Fi worksupport.
