CASE (Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange)

CASE Standards Management for the Entire Standards Lifecycle

As educational standards continue to evolve, organizations need a reliable way to exchange, manage, and maintain them across multiple systems. The Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange (CASE) standard, developed by 1EdTech Consortium, provides a common framework for publishing and sharing standards in a structured, machine-readable format.

EdGate has been involved with CASE since its inception as a founding member of the initiative and continues to support its advancement as a 1EdTech Alliance Member. Today, we continue to help organizations author, implement, and manage CASE frameworks while contributing to the continued growth of the CASE ecosystem.

Whether you are a publisher, EdTech provider, state agency, or assessment organization, EdGate provides the tools and expertise to help you work with CASE efficiently and at scale.

Why Organizations Are Moving to CASE

Education organizations manage thousands of standards that change over time. Keeping those standards synchronized across multiple products, jurisdictions, and partners can quickly become a challenge.

CASE helps establish a common structure for exchanging standards, reducing duplicate work and making it easier for systems to stay aligned. As more publishers, state agencies, and technology providers adopt CASE, organizations are finding it easier to collaborate and build products that work together.

The value isn't simply having standards in CASE format. It's creating a reliable foundation that allows those standards to move seamlessly throughout your organization.

How EdGate Supports CASE

At EdGate, CASE is more than a supported format. It's an important part of how we help organizations manage standards throughout their lifecycle.

Whether you are starting with an existing framework or creating something entirely new, our platform supports publishing, converting, maintaining, and delivering CASE-compliant standards. We also help organizations integrate CASE into their own products and workflows, making implementation far less complex than building everything internally.

Our work extends beyond our own platform. We actively help organizations adopt CASE while contributing to the continued growth of the broader CASE community.

Supporting the CASE Community

EdGate's commitment to CASE extends beyond our platform. As a founding member of the CASE initiative and a 1EdTech Alliance Member, we actively support the adoption and evolution of the standard across the education community.

Our team works with publishers, EdTech providers, state agencies, and technology partners to modernize legacy standards, implement CASE within products and platforms, and contribute new frameworks that strengthen the overall ecosystem.
