1EdTech Glossary (SANDBOX VERSION)

Caliper Analytics® is a standard developed by 1EdTech. Caliper establishes a means for consistently capturing and presenting analytics icon measures of learning activity; defines a common language for labeling learning data; provides a standard way of measuring learning activities and effectiveness; and leverages data science methods, standards, and technologies. Caliper provides the means to collect click-stream data from all digital resources that can be streamed into an institution's dashboard of choice to view student interaction with digital tools and inform the instructional design to better understand the return on learning for their technology investments. 

Provides a standard way for enabling a tool to report back a user's activities and have those associated with a single user session without regard to whether they occurred within the platform or the tool.

A Caliper event is a data object that describes a learning activity.  It is made up of an actor, an action, and an object.

A term used in the lifecycle/development process of a specification (standard).  This is a members only specification under development which is considered to be sufficiently complete and stable such that 1EdTech Members are encouraged to become early adopters. 

Example: The Candidate Final document is ready for members to review and consider their participation in the early adoption group. 

A term used in the lifecycle/development process of a specification (standard).  This is a public version of the candidate final and addresses any implementation issues brought forward from the Candidate Final. 

Example: The public will soon be able to review and comment on the Candidate Final / Public Draft of the Open Badges 3.0 specification. 

An individual, or consulting group that builds the CASE frameworks for the Issuer. They translate the issuer’s human-readable standards into the CASE format.

The digital package with a document that includes a list of all the competencies/academic standards (CFitems) for a curricular subject, in sequential order (vertical alignments.) It includes parent-child relationships.

The official entity that owns and generates the source standards. The issuer is the authority who publishes (until now, human-readable) standards. In the case of K12 education, it may be a state’s department of education (DOE/SEA), a Local Education Agency (LEAs), or other organizations that publish K-12 and K-12 PD learning and competency standards. 

The issuer (owner/author) can also be an industry association, other institutions (community colleges, etc.) or a company that offers professional development courses.

CASE Network is a single, verifiable, trusted source of learning standards and workforce competencies in digital format. It is supported by a collaboration of leading states, districts, and edtech suppliers working to make the alignment of digital resources and edtech products dramatically faster, easier, and less expensive to support aligned instruction across the digital learning ecosystem.

An individual from an organization who has registered to use the CASE Network.
