Shift iQ, developed by InSite Information Systems, is an adaptive learning technology solution that identifies an individual’s existing skills, often referred to as competencies, and delivers personalized learning pathways to expedite the journey from learning acquisition to mastery.

Shift iQ integrates skills frameworks throughout its functional Toolkits, enabling simple management of skills linked to assessments and learning activities. Shift iQ supports both traditional and innovative education methods, allowing users to place assessments at the start of the learning process. This leads to adaptive learning through individualized plans based on a learner’s engagement with the initial assessment.

Administrators, including instructors, subject matter experts, and instructional designers can use the Courses Toolkit to create engaging adaptive course content. Learning assets (lessons, embedded documents, SCORM packages, integrated H5P content, videos, surveys, etc.) can be linked to skills frameworks, and highly configurable prerequisites can be configured to release content based on a learner’s engagement with assessments. This means two individuals engaging in the same course may have significantly different learning paths, but the result is the same – learning mastery.

Designed for all learners, especially those seeking to expedite their learning journey and gain verifiable credentials, Shift iQ is a transformative adaptive learning technology with the potential to reshape education. It enables learners to leverage their existing skills to gain credentials faster and enter the workforce with highly relevant and verifiable skills. For these reasons and more, Shift iQ by InSite Information Systems earned Cool Tool Awards (Finalists) for “Best Adaptive Technology Solution,” “Best Professional Development Learning Solution,” “Best Professional Skills (Workforce, Upskilling) Solution,” and “Best Testing & Assessment Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.

DILIGENT

Policy Manager for Policy Service Providers, a new tool from Diligent, is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of policy service providers in the public education sector. With over a decade of experience in supporting public policy professionals, Policy Manager centralizes and streamlines the distribution and maintenance of model policy content across school districts. The tool results in a more efficient policy management cycle, benefiting both service providers and their subscribers, while supporting compliance with legislative and legal requirements. 
Policy Manager, which is backed by the same expertise behind BoardDocs — a platform serving 40% of the U.S. public education market — offers a centralized repository for policy documents, allowing providers to easily access, manage, draft, and update active and retired policies. Its many standout features include “compare and merge” tools, which enables a swift review and adoption of policy content, as well as “references and citations” which creates a library of applicable legal and legislative references that can be easily linked to policy documents. Both features significantly reduce the time and complexity of ensuring policy compliance with legislative requirements. 
The solution also offers customizable and automated review cycles and detailed audit trails, to further enhance the policy lifecycle. Providers can instantly notify subscribers of updates and manage their entire policy network through seamless integration with Diligent Community, an easy-to-use and efficient board management solution. School districts, in turn, can easily collaborate, track changes, and maintain accurate, up-to-date policies, ensuring a culture fueled by transparency and accountability in the public education system. 
With Policy Manager, Diligent continues to strengthen its offerings for the public education sector, empowering policy providers to deliver timely, compliant, and easily adoptable policy updates across their networks. Learn more.
