1EdTech’s interoperability design relies on two important roles, consumer and provider. Consumers and Providers can be related to tools, content or services. A Service Consumer ingests the provided data from a Service Provider. Service consumers and providers are often similar kinds of applications such as learning management systems, student information systems, digital content libraries. In OneRoster exchanges, the LMS is the most common system that serves as the service consumer.

The abbreviation for a student information system. 

A student information system (SIS) is a management information system used by educational institutions to manage student data. Student information systems provide capabilities for registering students in courses, classes, modules and programs (through rostering); documenting grading (through gradebooks), learner records, results of student tests and other assessment scores; building student schedules; tracking student attendance; and managing many different student-related data needs in the institution. In institutions with one or more learning management systems (LMS), there is a significant amount of information exchanged between the SIS and the LMS.

The 1EdTech standards OneRoster and Learning Information Services can be used to support such systems. 

Another word for interoperability standards. We use the word "specification" when the text can get confusing between "Academic Standards" and technical standards.

Provides a standard way for an instructor or student to launch back from a platform's gradebook to the tool where the interaction took place to display the learner's submission for a particular line item.
