We all know COVID rocked everyone’s world, but when it came to education? Hah. Yeah, everything’s changed. When learning went online, EdTech went from optional to absolutely 100% mandatory in a matter of weeks.
As schools transitioned to new platforms to help with virtual teaching, many of these platforms were not prepared to deal with the massive influx of new students. And trying to manage the data from all of these new users, when those platforms weren’t even originally designed to be compliant with privacy laws? Y-I-K-E-S. It’s been a mess, basically.
Today, we’ll examine how data privacy impacts the education world here in the land of online learning—and how data synthesis for EdTech can help you keep your data private and compliant.
Working in education means that you need to be hyper-aware of data protection laws that help defend children's rights. Within the US, companies need to be mindful of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) when handling student data.
But then, how can you test and analyze in a data-driven world? The FTC is even cracking down on EdTech, making sure that everyone involved in the digitization of classes is aware of the regulations.
Thanks to Tonic.ai’s platform, your organization can ensure that the data they use to create the next big thing in EdTech is protected from end to end. You’ll be able to test and demo your product safely with realistic synthetic data from our AI Synthesizer.
With synthetic data, you get access to a world of data that looks and acts like your production data without the risks that come with using production data. Let’s check out some of the bigger perks of using Tonic:
Data protection laws that support the protection of children's rights must be carefully considered by EdTech companies. The FTC is making sure that everyone involved in the digitization of education is aware of its rules and strictly enforcing them in the EdTech sector. And we believe that the best way to do that is by using synthetic data.
