The Project Unicorn Interoperability Certification signals to school systems and districts that an edtech product prioritizes data interoperability. There are four tiered badges available representing levels of interoperability, with tier 4 equaling the highest standard.

Interoperability can be your market advantage! Data interoperability is the seamless, secure, and controlled exchange of data between applications through the use of data standards. This allows for the exchange of information in real or near-real-time, allowing school districts to bring together siloed data elements and leverage them in new ways. Aligning to data standards demonstrates visionary leadership, signaling your commitment to helping educators and administrators make the most of their data and positioning your company as a market leader.

Data interoperability is the seamless, secure, and controlled exchange of data between applications. Interoperability allows schools to bring together siloed data and leverage it in new ways to improve teaching and learning. Implementing interoperable standards allows edtech vendors to link their products to a broader ecosystem and increase product value.

Now more than ever, educators are facing both known and unknown challenges to ensure that learning keeps going - no matter what. This toolkit from Project Unicorn provides support for Educators looking for better ways to leverage interoperable technology to support student learning.

Technology is helping schools use student data to unlock insights into a student's learning to boost academic growth and understanding. But when our technology doesn't work well, it can hinder our ability to assess and meet the needs of our students. One way to fix this is by making education technology interoperable. Click here to learn more about how data interoperability advances student success and gives you back your Sundays.

From improved instruction to data quality and efficiency, interoperability can help schools, states, students, teachers, districts, and families in ways you may not even realize. Read this resource to understand what interoperability is and what it means for groups across the education spectrum, from students to edtech vendors to state teams. See how real classrooms and school teams across the country have used interoperability to help their schools be better.

Let’s be honest, interoperability doesn’t sound like a fun word and doesn’t do enough to talk about the magic that it gives us. Give this resource to the biggest skeptic of investing in interoperability to understand how interoperability is part of our everyday lives by going on a theoretical trip to Colorado.
