Scope

This protocol addresses the complete lifecycle of data: collection, integration, analysis, interpretation, governance, and long-term management. It is designed for broad application across diverse educational environments, from K–12 schools to higher education institutions and specialized training programs. By defining clear procedures for sensor deployment, data security, analytic processes, stakeholder engagement, and scalability, the protocol ensures that any institution can adopt a robust, data-centric approach to monitoring student merit. The protocol also incorporates best practices for integrating with existing information systems, allowing schools to retain their current infrastructures while benefiting from innovative data-gathering technologies.
