Flowchart -> Accessibility & Sustainability in Digital Onboarding & Rostering

According to Google Support: "Diagrams and flowcharts make complex processes in your presentation easier to understand. All you have to do is add, combine, and edit shapes—no diagram software required." The DataTeam is pursuing the development of accessibility and sustainability to annual procedures using simple tools. Currently that work is focused on Digital Onboarding and Rostering. 

Digital Onboarding is the process of getting personnel credentialed and permissioned for their accounts, and includes giving capacity to personnel once they gain appropriate access. 

Digital Rostering is the process of associating students with their teachers and other hierarchical levels (ex. homeroom, grade level, 

Both of these paths are unified in that they rely on sync processes. For example, HR passes a list of new hires onto IT who generates a Google Account. That Google Account is used to make a KIPP Foundation Single Sign On account (SSO), which will sync with services KIPP Share and Tableau, and a PowerSchool account, which will sync with Clever, which will subsequently sync with services such as iReady, Illuminate, Raptor, etc. Below are examples of simple flow diagrams that can be integrated into a flowchart. This flowchart will probably be created in Google Drawings because that platform fits well with the criteria of accessibility and sustainability.

HR -> IT -> Google Account
Google Account -> KIPP Foundation SSO -> Tableau & KIPP Share
Google Account -> PowerSchool -> Clever -> iReady, Illuminate, & Raptor, etc
 
Each of these sync processes needs to be established according to the framework that exists in the system and the crux of our work right now is 
  • resolve sync processes 
  • see if they are working 
  • examine better sync pathway possibilities (ex. can iReady use Google SSO rather than Clever?). 
This brief is meant to make visible our work, and to illustrate our path through the work.
