Unizin, a data consortium formed of 25 US universities, have launched a platform designed to improve analytics across college classrooms and improve data collection standards across the edtech industry. To be usable, the complex and disparate data needs to be properly organised and five of the universities are working on a "data laundry" system for the whole consortium. They want to create something other organisations can use and persuade edtech firms to maintain set standards to begin with. To calm hacking concerns, Unizin has appointed an “assurance officer” to oversee security in co-operation with the security officials on campuses.
