"With all of the applications we're tasked with managing these days, account creation can be a huge time sink. We've turned to the OneRoster standard to make this process (somewhat) easier to navigate, automating account creation for Google Classroom, Renaissance, Powerschool, and scores of other vendor applications.
We'll provide a broad overview of the OneRoster standard and it's capabilities. Next, we'll go into detail on how we use our chosen implementation, Classlink RosterServer, to handle several complex use cases. We'll also cover the largest pitfalls we've encountered and how to avoid them. While our solutions utilize Classlink, similar processes can be implemented in other platforms like Clever, so even if you're not a Classlink customer there is knowledge to gain and share!"
