Tech Eval 2019-07-16 Meeting notes

• Presentation Deck: RVWG - Google Data Viz Presentation

Play recording

• Overall functionality
  • Seems simple to build reports, not a lot of technical knowledge required.
  • Community collaboration build it, community members can create and share report templates and/or connectors.
  • No connectors available for MS SQL yet, but a lot of other options available.
  • Free to use, only requirement is a google account which can be a free personal or education account.
  • Goal is to offer lower cost/free tool for small districts and teachers to be able to visualize, manipulate and share data without heavy technical burden.
• Security management
  • Can use Role or Record security based on Google Suite users or by user email if checking against other sources.
  • Does not require Google Suite for education, but it would make it easier to implement.
  • Reports can be shared as google docs can be shared.
  • Will need to dig into how LDAP or bigger implementation could potentially implement security without it becoming too burdensome. 

• Ed-Fi ODS security overview
• Are there any other tools/implementations that we should review?
