eAssessment Alliance

1EdTech Alliances are for the purpose of ensuring interoperability in practice and keeping implementing organizations current on the evolution of a specific set of 1EdTech standards. 1EdTech Alliances provide organizations who want access to development resources, testing suites and conformance certification for a specific set of 1EdTech standards to ensure reliable integrations with platforms. 1EdTech provides Alliance members this support at a fraction of the cost of custom integrations and, most importantly, steps in on an ongoing basis to resolve issues that arise.

Under the Alliances, 1EdTech provides self-service support to implement conformant products. When testing is completed, 1EdTech issues a conformance certification mark that 1EdTech stands behind.
