This course is focused on the steps necessary to sync initial data between a student information system and an Ed-Fi ODS/API Platform. This course will also introduce the idea of a Jupyter Notebook as a method of exploring an Ed-Fi API and have you utilize one to verify that data has landed in the ODS.
Who Should Enroll
Students 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 a 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 a SIS
Sync data to the Schools resource
Run an API call in a Jupyter Notebook to confirm data is in the ODS
Learning Objectives
The learning objectives for this course are:
Understand how API endpoints relate to each other through associations and references
Understand namespaces, descriptors, and claim sets, and their role in Ed-Fi
Comfortably sync data from a SIS to an Ed-Fi API and verify it has arrived
