Lightspeed Systems Announces Lightspeed Insight™ to Provide K-12 Districts with Unparalleled Visibility and Control of Apps

AUSTIN, TX, January 19 – Today Lightspeed Systems, the leader in technology for safe and secure education, announced the launch of Lightspeed Insight. This powerful tool provides K-12 districts with unparalleled visibility of district edtech usage to quickly understand and act on data privacy compliance, cost management, and app reviews and approvals.

With Lightspeed Insight, district leaders can:

• Forstå nemt edtech-brug med opdaterede engagementsrapporter på distrikts-, campus- og elevniveau.
• Strømline databeskyttelsesstyring gennem politikscanning i realtid, før-og-efter-sammenligninger af ændringer af appens privatlivspolitik og 1EdTech-badging.
• Forenkle edtech gennemgang og godkendelsesprocessen ved at se alle applikationer i brug og hurtigt identificere useriøse applikationer, der kræver gennemgang.
• Fremskynd edtech-evaluering med konsoliderede brugsdata og et bibliotek med 5.000 NCES-apps til øjeblikkelig læseplanskontekst.

“Like most districts, our use of educational apps exploded two years ago and now we’re faced with a monumental task of maintaining data security, conducting reviews and approvals, and ensuring curriculum quality. With even fewer staff resources,” says Eric Hileman, Executive Director of Information Technology Services for Oklahoma City Public Schools. “The visibility, control, and context provided by Lightspeed Insight makes it possible to do that at scale and still have the time we need to support our teachers and students.”

“Lightspeed Insight is the only product that identifies unapproved apps and privacy policy changes for districts in real time,” says Brook McShane Bock, Chief Product Officer for Lightspeed Systems. “But that is just the beginning. Over the coming months, you’ll see exponential growth in the value of the data that Lightspeed provides districts so they can offer safe and secure education effortlessly.”

Lightspeed Insight is powered by Amazon Web Services and built on the foundation of CatchOn, a product acquired by Lightspeed Systems in January 2022. To learn more or request a demo, visit our Insight homepage.
