06 Jan 2022

MagicBox™ has secured the IMS Global OneRoster 1.1 certification. The platform is also certified by IMS Global for Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) v1.3. With the new OneRoster 1.1 certification, MagicBox now offers new and improved rostering features for educational institutions.

IMS Global Certification

Obtaining the IMS Global certification is the most effective way to build trust among users. IMS Global certifies apps and technology providers after vetting them by making them go through a stringent process. This makes sure that the offerings are compliant with industry standards and can easily integrate with other compliant Edtech platforms.

With the OneRoster 1.1 certification, MagicBox™ now offers a powerful tool for both K-12 and higher education institutions to securely record, store and share a wide range of data, including class rosters, assessment scores, learning materials, and more.

What OneRoster 1.1 Offers

MagicBox- OneRoster 1.1 CertifiedMagicBox™ previously provided OneRoster 1.0 as a standard rostering tool to securely share class rosters and associated data between Student Information Systems (SIS) and other systems, such as a digital learning platform or LMS.
