Assessment Interoperability Framework
In December, 2012 CEDS announced the release of standards to support the assessment
systems being developed by state assessment consortia.
These standards were developed in conjunction with the SIF Association and IMS,
the RTTA Consortia, states not involved in a consortium, and assessment consortia focused
on students with severe cognitive disabilities. They support the needs of the Assessment
Interoperability Framework (AIF) — specific educational technology
and assessment standards that can be used by any assessment implementation providers.
The CEDS elements can be leveraged to support interoperability between the assessment systems platform and
the broader education data systems environment (that is, between all of the systems that make up the assessment
system as a whole, and between that assessment system and other data systems like student information systems,
SLDSs, LMSs, etc.).
