1 Illinois Shared Learning Environment Illinois Pathways Initiative – Lead Entity Discussion October 11, 2012 Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Illinois State Board of Education

2 Agenda Introduction ISLE Overview Shared Learning Collab. Instructional Impact Design Phase Focus ISLE vision for STEM and Career Development Feedback/ Focus Groups Use Cases & Apps Need Prioritization Wrap Up & Next Steps

3 Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE) The State of Illinois is developing a statewide technology infrastructure known as the Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE). It will advance the personalization of learning and empower K-12, P-20, and workforce users to manage their academic and career pathways. Currently, the ISLE team is working on the design phase.

4 ISLE Overview Statewide initiative to create an open source infrastructure Collaboration with national initiatives including: Share Learning Collaborative (SLC) Learning Registry Illinois is 1 of 5 states participating with Phase I implementation of the Shared Learning Collaborative (SLC)

5 Illinois Shared Learning Environment K12 (SLC Technology) Learning Maps Dashboards Portal Curricular Support Other K12 Early Learning Post Secondary Work Force P-20 Alignment Using Longitudinal Data STEM Applications Program of Study Learning Maps Vendor and Open Source Apps State Developed Apps To be further explored in RTT- ELC

7 Illinois Shared Learning Environment The first wide-scale, coordinated effort to make technology the disruptive, revolutionary force in education it has been in almost all other industries. Consortium of Nine States Organized by CCSSO Funded by the Gates Foundation and Carnegie Corporation SLC is working to make personalized learning a reality for every U.S. student by improving the usefulness, variety, and affordability of education technology. What is the Shared Learning Collaborative (SLC)?

8 Illinois Shared Learning Environment A set of technology services that will allow districts and other users to safely and securely provide educators with the instructional data and tools they need to help make personalized learning a reality for all students. The SLC is the foundation for the Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE): “ISLE – Powered by SLC Technology” What will SLC offer Illinois?

9 “What’s broken? The idea that ‘one size fits all.’ We aren’t meeting the learning needs of each student.” Key Challenges Facing Educators With increasing external pressures and declining resources available, educators find themselves facing a number of challenges in the workplace Lack of Time “Just give us time to do some of the things we don’t have time to do” Limited Opportunity for Collaboration “Any time we want to collaborate it’s after school on our own time.” Changing Expectations “For new initiatives, you need to get teacher buy-in and involve them in the front line.” Decreasing Resources “$80 measly bucks for me to meet with other professionals and they won’t cover it?” Increasing Data Demands “It’s frustrating trying to figure out how to take data and do something with it to help students advance.” Limited capacity for personalized learning

10 So what does this mean for teachers?

11 The Next Level State or Local Teacher Portal/ Dashboard/Learning Builder Student Data Learning Maps Professional Development Lesson Plans (Common Core) Student Resources & Assessment Tools (Common Core) State or Local Teacher Portal/ Dashboard / Learning Builder Student Data Learning Maps (Technical and Employability) Professional Development (Technical and Employability) Lesson Plans (Technical and Employability) Student Resources & Assessment Tools (Technical and Employability) Take it to the next level by incorporating the technical and employability component. 11

12 What the ISLE technology will enable SLC Application Programming Interface (API) SLC Secure multi-tenant data store LRMI metadata schema Source systems data (classroom, schools, districts, state) Vendor Data 3 rd Party Grading App What the ISLE technology will include Learning Map IL Sponsored Apps Dashboard 3 rd Party Data Management App 3 rd Party STEM App SLC Sponsored Apps 3 rd Party Curriculum App 12

13 Design Phase Focus Application Layer: ▫Leveraging SLC analysis of application scenarios ▫Defining scope of applications for investigation and responsibility between NIU-IIRC and SIU-CWD ▫RFI for input from vendor community ▫Online surveys and focus groups for input from IL educators and STEM/workforce development interests Cloud Infrastructure & Enterprise Software: ▫Designing application development and production environment ▫Statewide identity integration/authorization system ▫Data model for all P-20 users ▫Long-term data transfer solution(s) for all P-20 users

14 Pilot in Bloomington (D87) and McLean County (U5) of basic SLC functionality ▫SLC Technology Alpha Release – Now ▫SLC Technology Version 1 Release – Dec 2012 ISLE Focus Groups and Requirements Development – Fall 2012 Expansion to RttT Districts – Starting in 2013 Build ISLE P20 Components – Starting in 2013 Statewide Implementation – 2014-15 and beyond Illinois Shared Learning Environment What comes next?
