Illinois Shared Learning
Environment (ISLE)
The State of Illinois is developing a statewide technology
infrastructure known as the Illinois Shared Learning
Environment (ISLE). It will advance the personalization
of learning and empower K-12, P-20, and workforce
users to manage their academic and career pathways.
Currently, the ISLE team is working on the design phase.
ISLE Overview
• Statewide initiative to create an
open source infrastructure
• Collaboration with national
initiatives including:
• Share Learning Collaborative
(SLC)
• Learning Registry
• Illinois is 1 of 5 states
participating with Phase I
implementation of the Shared
Learning Collaborative (SLC)

Illinois Shared Learning Environment
What is the Shared Learning Collaborative (SLC)?
The first wide-scale, coordinated effort to make technology
the disruptive, revolutionary force in education it has been
in almost all other industries.
Consortium of Nine States Organized by CCSSO
Funded by the Gates Foundation and Carnegie Corporation
SLC is working to make personalized learning a reality for
every U.S. student by improving the usefulness,
variety, and affordability of education technology.
Illinois Shared Learning Environment
What will SLC offer Illinois?
A set of technology services that will allow districts and
other users to safely and securely provide educators with
the instructional data and tools they need to help make
personalized learning a reality for all students.
The SLC is the foundation for the Illinois Shared Learning
Environment (ISLE): “ISLE – Powered by SLC Technology”
Key Challenges Facing Educators
With increasing external pressures and declining resources available, educators find
themselves facing a number of challenges in the workplace
Lack of Time
Limited Opportunity for
Collaboration
“Just give us time to do some of the things we don’t
have time to do”
“Any time we want to collaborate it’s after school on our
own time.”
Changing Expectations
“For new initiatives, you need to get teacher buy-in and
involve them in the front line.”
Decreasing Resources
“$80 measly bucks for me to meet with other professionals
and they won’t cover it?”
Increasing Data
Demands
“It’s frustrating trying to figure out how to take data and
do something with it to help students advance.”
Limited capacity for
personalized
learning
“What’s broken? The idea that ‘one size fits all.’ We aren’t
meeting the learning needs of each student.”
So what does this mean for teachers?

Design Phase Focus
• Application Layer:
▫ Leveraging SLC analysis of application scenarios
▫ Defining scope of applications for investigation and
responsibility between NIU-IIRC and SIU-CWD
▫ RFI for input from vendor community
▫ Online surveys and focus groups for input from IL
educators and STEM/workforce development interests
• Cloud Infrastructure & Enterprise Software:
▫ Designing application development and production
environment
▫ Statewide identity integration/authorization system
▫ Data model for all P-20 users
▫ Long-term data transfer solution(s) for all P-20 users
