DALLAS, September 06, 2016 — Istation, a leading provider of education technology, announces that its e-learning program has achieved IMS Global Conformance Certification for the OneRoster v1.0 standard.

OneRoster allows schools and districts to securely and seamlessly update and integrate their student rosters with technology providers.
