WEBINAR: Interoperability and Privacy - Balancing Risks and Rewards
How do you balance keeping student’s data private and secure while also ensuring the RIGHT data gets to the RIGHT person, at the RIGHT time? Increased interoperability without the inclusion of privacy requirements equals increased risk. Join leaders from the Access 4 Learning’s Student Data Privacy Consortium, the Future of Privacy Forum, and Bardic Systems to discuss how to leverage the power of data interoperability while keeping student data secure. Learn how you can connect and secure effective learning ecosystems that benefit students while ensuring compliance with federal and state privacy laws.

Vision, collaboration, planning, and implementation.

The MA Data Hub leverages the state data collection to provide the data back to the districts for streamlined, secure rostering and data sharing. The tools provided to the districts embed privacy enforcement and transparency.
