1EdTech Glossary

The TrustEd Apps program is the 1dTech process of vetting applications and certifying them for data privacy using the rubric which was collaboratively developed by the 1EdTech community. The TrusteEd App Vetting Rubric covers the base set of questions that K-12 districts and higher ed institutions need to ask when vetting an application's data privacy policy and terms of use. To establish this series of "must ask" questions, the participants compared all of the questions collected from K-12 districts, higher education institutions, and external organizations and selected all of the questions that were similarly being asked by each group. The main objective of the rubric is to develop a baseline for evaluating a product's data privacy protections that an institution may use as a component of its own application review process.
