Apereo Micro Conference with Michael Feldstein (01.15.2025)

Open as in Standards; Two Great Tastes...
Whether it's HTTP or LTI, software, including open-source software, relies on standards. These standards exist and work because we agree to shape and work on them together. The nature of the collaboration is different than it often (though not always) is with open-source because of the nature of the agreement we need to make standards work. Michael Feldstein, the Chief Strategy Officer for 1EdTech, will talk about how the open standards process works at 1EdTech and how this kind of openness enables makers while leveling the playing field.
Participants will:
Learn examples of how open standards facilitate making-especially open-source-in educational technology
Learn how the standards process works at 1EdTech
Consider possible opportunities for deeper collaboration between the communities
