A. There has been some on and off interest, but right now there appears not to be enough resources to dedicate.
- Colorado has begun this discussion, but we will follow-up once we have info. State CIO is the chair for this group.
- In regards to Student Unit Records this activity was squashed under the Bush administration. However, under the new administration, this issue has moved down into the K-12 arena. This raises questions about credentials and on-line access.
- This has come up in discussions in this group before and is one of the applications we're looking at NC Trust for the Office of Public Instructions.
- Rodney recommends checking out the Post-Elementary Standards Council. (www.pesc.org)
- Another good resource is the Schools Interoperability Framework (www.sifinfo.org), a consortium of k-20 stakeholders to coordinate on longitudinal data systems which is being funded also by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation.
- As part of the working group's agenda we try to use it as a sounding board for input on policy issues.
COSN Insights
- Conceptually, we're interested in working with EDUCAUSE and StateNets on this issue
- Noted collaborative compendium article from three years ago, crafted by Shaun Abshere of WiscNet.
- We're talking more and more about managed/shared services and this is essential to make this work. We're seeing new legislation in CO, prompted by "Race to the Top".
- Interested in educational deliverables. Also, we need a vision where we want to be in 3-5 years. Would like something to share with our membership.
