MiLearn - Now available for users of the Skyward SIS.
The Michigan Linked Educational Assessment Reporting Network (MiLearn) continues to grow in popularity across the state and is now available to staff, parents, and students residing in districts that use the Skyward SIS. For more information on configuring this in the Skyward SIS please review the link to the "MiLearn Configuration" document found on Page 29 of the Skyward Initial Data Integration Setup. Users can also place a service ticket with the team at Skyward for more information or any questions you might have while working through the configuration.
Giving students, parents, and educators access to three years of state assessment results electronically has proven to be a very powerful resource for Michigan districts. With M-STEP, WIDA, and MI-Access data included, users get access to results quicker and easier. The power of the system is in it's simplicity. Users don’t need a separate username or password, they simply click a link within their student information system (SIS) and are taken directly into MiLearn. They can then view the reports for users they have been granted access to view based on their SIS data.
If you have questions or are ready to join MiLearn, feel free to contact Tim Hall, at
hallt@michigan.gov

Reminder on M-Step & NWEA Assessment Data
|
|
All districts that have data on MiDataHub are able to turn on M-STEP data transfer.
The steps to turn on the functionality are documented on the
M-STEP page of the Product Catalog
.
Alternatively, an email to
support@midatahub.org
to request that our helpdesk configure the data flow for your district will give us permission to do that on your behalf. Currently, spring 2016 and spring 2017 data are able to flow, as we are awaiting final permission from MDE to turn on the data flow that will allow spring 2018 and all future data to transfer. One of the benefits of the M-STEP connector is that it will allow your district to get assessment results for students new to the district.
Similarly, NWEA data can be easily configured to flow to MiDataHub for the over 600 districts that use that product. To start the process for that assessment, there is an agreement on the
Product Catalog page for NWEA
. A district simply needs to sign the agreement, scan it in, and email to
support@midatahub.org
. Our helpdesk staff will forward the agreement to NWEA so that they will begin sending the data, and we will configure the datahub to load your data when it is there. NWEA has four assessment periods in the school year - fall, winter, spring and summer. As assessments are taken during any of those windows, the data is sent to MiDataHub the following Sunday.
In the case of both integrations, they allow for assessment data to be used in many other systems. The MiDataHub dashboards will display data for these assessments. The data is available to transfer to other systems, such as MiRead, Eidex, SAS, or any other systems that the districts permits to access the data. In the future, we hope that SIS vendors and vendors such as Illuminate will also consume this data, alleviating the need for districts to manually upload these data sets. Finally, the data can be downloaded by custom export for any other use a district has for the data.
