Ed-Fi Badges Program
Cesare provided an overview of the Ed-Fi badging program that was announced at the Summit. See the slides for more details. A webinar is being scheduled for October or November as follow up. See Making the Ed-Fi Partner Program Stronger: A Community-Driven Initiative for more details.
Standards Development Process
Eric Jansson provided an overview of the Ed-Fi Standards Development Process that has been refined as part of the governance process.
Proposed Standards
Two RFCs have been operationalized via certification and in field work. The Alliance staff recommends promotion of these to a standard:
- GOV-15: Promotion of RFC 16 - Core Student API to a standard
- GOV 14: Promotion of RFC 15 - Assessment Outcomes API to a standard
Based on feedback from the GAT, the Alliance will document the details of how the specifications have been operationalized before the GAT is asked to review and approve.
Upcoming RFC’s
Four RFC's are ready for review/approval by the GAT:
- GOV-16: Core Student API: Update to RFC 16 – additive, non-breaking expansion of SIS elements
- GOV-17: Assessment Outcomes API : "Port" of RFC 15 to the Ed-Fi Suite 3
- GOV-18: Assessment Outcomes API : Additive, non-breaking expansion of GOV-17 & contains the work of the Assessment Work Group
- GOV-19 – Ed-Fi Design and Implementation Guidelines : Clarifies API design practices (e.g. the ISO spec that Ed-Fi adheres to for date/time formats)
Ed-Fi Technology Show-and-Tell
Stephen Fuqua demonstrated the progress on "Project Roadrunner" - the implementation of the Ed-Fi ODS / API on PostgreSQL.
The meeting was adjourned.
