Big News in 2023

Our community is building an ecosystem where edtech products work together and digital credentials—representing learner achievements—are transferable across education and work. Here are some of the top stories from the year on how we're creating top-notch learning experiences for everyone.

Major Improvements in Digital Credentials

With the latest releases of Open Badges and the CLR Standard™, learners can more easily share their skills and achievements and have them verified with employers and learning providers across multiple platforms.

Saving Time for Educators

1EdTech's OneRoster 1.2 open standard makes it easier for teachers to get real-time information on student progress from learning apps all in one place.

Best Student Data Privacy Solution

The TAMS dashboard is used in over 350 school districts and includes over 11,000 edtech products. The dashboard enables curating a list of recommended apps with detailed information about privacy policies, interoperability conformance, security practices, GenAI data, and accessibility features. TAMS makes it easier for teachers to access and use digital tools in their classrooms without inadvertently putting student data at risk.

Collaborating on Generative AI

“Many times, districts will build as they go, but that can cause a lot of problems because we aren’t thinking five steps ahead. Later, you realize what standards would be helpful. The 1EdTech community helps you consider that state and brings experience, so you know what you need to ask for and create a multi-year plan.”
