The first educational technology suppliers committed to adoption and certification of a 1EdTech standard specification. A minimum number of early implementations are required (as set by the Working Group creating the specification) before a Candidate Final can be moved to Final Release.
Example: Blackboard, Edmentum, Hoonuit, Instructure, and McGraw Hill were among the suppliers who committed to early LTI Advantage adoption and 1EdTech certification in 2018.
