INsite, a consortium founded at the Indiana University School of Education, joined EA in July 2024. INsite’s podcast, DatabasED, distills the complexities of data processes and analysis into terms and concepts that educators are familiar with and connect with their day-to-day practice.
In the newest episode of the DatabasED podcast, co-hosts Molly Stewart (Director of Research & Analytics Services) and Rosh Dhanawade (Vice President of Interoperability Solutions) chat with Staff Data Engineer Tom Reitz about EA's tooling, Earthmover and Lightbeam. Throughout the episode, Tom discusses the roadblocks he and the team encountered while building Earthmover and Lightbeam and how they overcame them, the resources she would recommend to people interested in learning more about Earthmover and Lightbeam, and what is next for the tools.
