CASE has become an important standard for exchanging academic standards and competencies across education systems. As an active member of the 1EdTech community, EdGate doesn't simply consume CASE data. We help organizations create it, manage it, implement it, and deliver it at enterprise scale.
Many organizations begin by looking for CASE-compatible solutions. While CASE interoperability is an essential foundation, organizations often discover they need additional capabilities to manage standards across authoring, alignment, maintenance, reporting, and delivery. The comparison below highlights those differences.
