INTEROPERABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND LEARNING - Life Learners Limited

Interoperability, defined dryly, is the seamless, secure and controlled exchange of data between different applications and technologies. The term is a mouthful, yet the concept enables many conveniences we take for granted. In education, however, interoperability has lagged behind other industries and services. Data is fragmented across different systems that don't "speak" to one another. This means records are not easily transferable between tools used within the same school or district.
