Who Is This Guy and Why Is He Here?

• Decade in K12 classroom and higher education instruction, lifetime of education

• Informal and brain based learning expertise

• Educational technology impact research and eLearning operational standards

• State and federal educational policymaking

• Advisor to international government agencies

• And most importantly – a Parent!!!

Health and Learning Context• Growth failure, or failure to thrive (FTT), is a descriptive term to describe inadequate growth in early childhood.  

• Authorities agree that only by comparing height and weight on a growth chart over time can FTT be accurately assessed. In learning, these charts can be developed as well – Growth Models

• Many types but in general X years of standardized test information is needed for a learner to determine their “growth”

Learning Design Considerations

Personal“One time I…”

Environment“Is this really the way 

it is?”

Social“Help me do this…”

So What Is SIF?• Systems Interoperability Framework Association a non profit, membership driven community with over 2200 members in 6 countries and three formal communities in the US, UK and AU.

• Developing the “technical blueprint” for data transmission for information and learning systems – the “gauge” of the railroad tracks.

• Ideal for the marketplace is that we are able to develop a technology enabled “individual education plan” for all learners – a growth chart!

21st Century: Extending the Scope of Interoperability

• Not just the MIS and Learning Management System 

• The whole set of applications and technologies that allow institutions to provide teaching, learning and research

• Allows for the development of systems that can better support personalised learning

• Factors currently affecting the adoption of ICT in schools:

– Large investment in innovation/investment with uneven results

– Deluge of information (teaching, admin & communication tools)

– Schools investing to improve core services and drive systemic change, focussing on curriculum delivery and support systems. 

– Trend towards 1:1 access driven by DER stimulus/low cost devices 

– Developments in ICT for business/personal use are creating new opportunities for learning and setting community expectations 

• Need for an integrated suite of information systems to seamlessly support high quality contemporary experience for every Australian. 

• Jurisdictions either purchase large highly featured solutions or establishing interoperability between disparate information systems used across the sector to administer schools and facilitate learning.

AU Focus: Tooling up for the “Digital Education Revolution”

• SIF Association AU Team has focused on Enhanced Systems Interoperability in AU Schools. Key “stream” components are:

– Development of the structure and business case including drivers,  options and cost benefit analysis

– Development of a recommended approach for operating SIF in Australia including needs analysis and US/UK comparison

– Collection and analysis of data from jurisdictions and from the SIF Association AU Pilot Program to inform options analysis

• A draft Business Case has been developed presenting the rationale on the challenge providing of an integrated digital learning environment for all Australian school students for the next decade

Page 18: “Failure to Thrive” and the Impact of Technology · Health and Learning Context • Growth failure, or failure to thrive (FTT), is a descriptive term to describe inadequate growth

The Challenge Proposed Response Benefits

Difficulty in integrating and embedding digital learning tools and resources is preventinganticipated benefits of ICT in P‐12 education

The challenge of integration is growing as devices and systems proliferate

 

Build national capability for connecting information systems within and between jurisdictions based on open standards and shared knowledge and skills.

Jurisdictions

• Reduced risk and contained costs in large scale software projects and systems integration 

• Greater flexibility in system design creating opportunities for innovative solutions

• More opportunities for knowledge sharing and joint investment in systems and services

Users 

• High quality 21C learning experience for all students

• Integrated curriculum delivery tools assist teachers in meeting expectations of students, employers and the community

• ‘Connected’ parents

SIF Association AU PilotsThis Pilot Program will solve practical ICT interoperability challenges and measure the success of these solutions. Each of the individual Pilot Projects is solving a problem or lowering a barrier to use of ICT in education.  The pilots include:

• transfer of student details• real time student data exchange• SIF Specification confirmation• Enterprise scale testing• Administration data exchange• Census and reporting• National Systems Interoperability Infrastructure

The Inevitable: Key Challenges Facing the K20 Environment

• Culture, capabilities and political change

• “Beyond the office” conversation

• Interrogating data across functional areas

• Interoperability – context of collaboration

• Bi‐Directional flow needs / Multiple entry points

• Learner centric v institution centric
