In Part 1 of the podcast re-launch, co-host Molly Stewart (former Director of INsite and EA’s Research Scientist II – Interoperability) talks with co-host Rosh Dhanawade (EA’s Director of Cloud Engineering & Interoperability) about where the podcast began, what they’ve learned throughout the process of creating and maintaining the podcast, and their vision for the podcast going forward. During the second half of the episode, Molly talks with EA’s CEO Andrew Rice about bringing researchers to the table in discussions about Ed-Fi, what has changed within the intersection of interoperability and research since Molly last interviewed Andrew in 2021, and what Andrew thinks will be possible within the Ed-Fi community and the education data space in the next five years.
