TrustED Apps

The Student Data Privacy and TrustED Apps project provides public schools with expert solutions for the evaluation of online educational resources, including how such resources protect student data. 

This project benefits local education agencies as follows:

• ADE provides local education agencies with an affiliate membership to 1EdTech Consortium, a global community for supporting innovations and open digital standards for learning.
• Access to the TrustED Apps dashboard with an industry-standard rubric for vetting applications for data privacy.
• Training provided by 1EdTech in the maximization of data standards to protect student data privacy.
• Community support to define processes/procedures for the approval of online resources in their district.

This project is the foundation for future projects oriented toward building an ecosystem of interoperable digital curriculum, applications, and learning platforms that enables a more personalized student experience. Data Privacy is only one of several industry specifications facilitated by 1EdTech. Other notable specifications that affiliate members have access to are:

• Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)
• OneRoster
• Competency & Academics Standards Exchange (CASE)
• Digital Badges / Open Badges
• Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR)
• Others

The Office of Digital Teaching and Learning is inviting twenty local education agencies to pioneer the Student Data Privacy effort,  receive an affiliate membership to 1EdTech and be part of the community that defines policies and procedures for the selection of online educational resources.

For this initial phase of the work, preference will be given to public schools that have access to either one of these Learning Management Systems (LMS): Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, D2L (Brightspace) , Blackboard Learn v3900, Sakai and Agilix Buzz. School districts that have a different LMS are still encouraged to apply.
