Education Analytics Stack Series Part I: Achieving Interoperability Momentum with StartingBlocks

INsite, a consortium founded at the Indiana University School of Education, joined EA in July 2024. INsite’s podcast, DatabasED, distills the complexities of data processes and analysis into terms and concepts that educators are familiar with and connect with their day-to-day practice.

In the newest episode of the DatabasED podcast, co-hosts Molly Stewart (Director of Research & Analytics Services) and Rosh Dhanawade (Vice President of Interoperability Solutions) chat with Cloud Engineer Manager Eshara Mondal about EA's open-source operational data store product, StartingBlocks. Throughout the episode, Eshara discusses the roadblocks she and her team encountered while building StartingBlocks and how they overcame them, the resources she would recommend to people interested in learning more about StartingBlocks, and what is next for the product as it relates to EA's complete product stack.
