School districts to leverage Ed-Fi standards
to power equitable access for Missouri students
SALT
LAKE CITY, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Instructure,
the maker of Canvas, announced today that the Missouri Research and
Education Network (MOREnet) has entered into a multi-year agreement
to help K-12 districts throughout Missouri streamline their data integration and
analytics efforts. This statewide implementation of Instructure's
Elevate Data Hub will enable districts to operate across disparate
systems. Elevate K-12 Analytics will provide highly interactive
visualization so educators can understand student achievement and
equity and develop timely, targeted plans to improve outcomes for
Missouri students. In addition,
since 2016, MOREnet has made the market-leading Canvas LMS
available to districts statewide. About 350,000 students and
teachers currently realize cost savings with Canvas due to this
partnership.
MOREnet supports nearly 500 K-12
school districts in Missouri,
serving more than 827,000 students. Shortly after phase one of this
project, MOREnet will offer data integration capabilities to their
consortium's 58 higher education institutions.
To meet the complex challenge of assisting academia with
collecting records and streamlining them for mandatory reporting,
MOREnet requires a sustainable and highly scalable solution based
on Ed-Fi's comprehensive data standard. Instructure is an Ed-Fi
trusted partner, with its Elevate K-12 Analytics product, including
recognition with Ed-Fi badges in Managed Operational Data
Store and API Platform categories. School districts that are a part
of the MOREnet Consortium will soon be able to access Instructure's
Elevate K-12 Analytics tool, which will help educators identify
individual needs to improve student success.
"We are excited about the impact this partnership will have for
Missouri students," said
Natasha Angell, executive director
of MOREnet. "This data-centric project will help our team assist
member schools to achieve real results in learning outcomes by
identifying students in need of intervention. This project makes
the data from multiple district applications readily available to
those who need to see it quickly."
Many educators and administrators tasked with overseeing student
data are realizing that legacy solutions and manual processes
cannot keep pace with needed changes and are embracing Ed-Fi data
standards, technology and community innovations for sustained
interoperability. Elevate Data Hub enables districts to keep pace
with rapidly evolving technology and community innovations. The
solution is hosted in the cloud for optimal scalability and
agility. Data integration will be API-based and
transactional/automated rather than batch file and manual. With
Instructure, Missouri districts
will gain continuous visibility, monitoring and management of data
integrations.
MOREnet is both a data network as well as a human network that
provides Internet connectivity, essential technical services,
resources and support, as well as technical training to
Missouri's public sector entities,
including K-12 schools, colleges and universities, public
libraries, health care, government and other affiliated
organizations.
"We're excited to work with MOREnet to help educators across
Missouri see the big picture when
it comes to each student's learning journey," said Melissa Loble, chief customer experience officer
at Instructure. "By bringing relevant data from previously siloed
sources into intuitive, customizable dashboards, we can provide
educators with the information they need to best help their
students find success."
Instructure representatives will join a panel of other experts
in student information systems and data analytics, as well as
school districts who are leading their local data interoperability
efforts at the MOREnet annual conference, which takes place
October 17-20 in Osage Beach, Mo.
