For Greenville County Public Schools, a 1EdTech membership means being able to prepare for the future while building up their digital ecosystem now. By working with the 1EdTech community and its standards, they can better consider future needs and prepare for those needs during the procurement process. A future-forward mindset and leveraging interoperability allow the district to stay innovative and react to evolving technology challenges as they create an ecosystem that fits the needs of teachers and students.
Data-Informed Student Success at the University of California Irvine

Protecting Student Data Privacy at City Schools of Decatur
City Schools of Decatur feels more confident about the security of its digital learning tools thanks to its membership with 1EdTech. Instead of having IT employees pouring over contracts, they can reference the TrustEd Apps Management Suite as an initial screener to see if a given application is likely to be able to meet the district's data privacy requirements. It saves time and allows them to respond more quickly to educator requests as they work to build their classroom resources. District leaders also gain innovative inspiration and lessons learned from other 1EdTech members as they continue working to improve the digital learning ecosystem for all.
Value of Seamless Connectivity for KCTCS
System integration standards offer a multitude of advantages in today's interconnected education environment. Integrating diverse software applications and systems enables the Kentucky Community & Technical College System to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce manual data entry errors. This supports a more cohesive and data-driven decision-making process, empowering KCTCS to adapt swiftly to changing market demands. This also facilitates real-time data sharing and communication between KCTCS colleges.
Scalable, Flexible Solutions for SURF
SURF, the collaborative organization for IT in Dutch education and research, sees a 1EdTech membership as a way to extend its work worldwide. Working with standards opens up access and clear communications between various digital ecosystems; whether research institutions across the Netherlands, Europe, or the world, the technology works together. Taking away that one barrier opens up new opportunities for putting learner needs at the center of all they do.
Reducing Friction at Magic Edtech
As Magic Edtech helps companies develop new edtech tools, they know following 1EdTech standards is critical to the tool’s future success. Following open standards reduces friction in integrating tools into an educational institution’s ecosystem, making it easier for students and educators to use, thereby increasing the chances of success. By being a member of the 1EdTech community, the company also has a voice in creating those standards, so they can ensure their company is always considering the future of edtech while creating tools today.
“Developing and managing custom integrations from an LMS to scores of vendors would be costly and difficult to maintain. Interoperability standards make the process more manageable, allowing us to provide the best technology and content, resulting in better student experiences and outcomes.”
—Catherine London, AVP, Academic Technology Solution Architecture, Southern New Hampshire University
Improving Equity with Personalization in Darlington County
Standardizing technology, improving educator access, and increasing understanding of edtech, is how Darlington County Schools hope to improve equity while still enabling personalization in the classroom. By pairing down tools used in the district and leveraging 1EdTech community resources, educators can dive deeper into resources to get the most out of them, students and teachers don’t have to lose instructional time learning new technology, and schools across the county have access to the same high-quality, highly-relevant, and vetted resources while keeping the flexibility teachers need to serve different students.
Making IT's Job Easier at SNHU
Using the best content for any given course or subject is important to the Southern New Hampshire University faculty, and 1EdTech helps ease the path to accessing that content. SNHU utilizes products from more than 60 providers and counting, most of which are easily accessible by faculty and students, improving the learning experience for everyone involved. Not only does 1EdTech lift some of the technical load needed to implement the various systems, but SNHU also has a seat at the table as we create an open, innovative, and trusted digital ecosystem that will meet the needs of SNHU learners moving forward.
