The Timeback APIs are built on 1EdTech standards. 1EdTech (formerly IMS Global) maintains the most comprehensive set of education interoperability standards.
StandardWhat it enablesWhat you skip building
OneRosterSync students, classes, and enrollments with school SIS systemsIdentity management, rostering pipelines, enrollment logic
LTISingle sign-on launch from LMS platforms into your appOAuth flows, session management, user provisioning
QTIInteroperable question and assessment formatsCustom question schemas, scoring engines, item banks
CaliperStandardized learning event stream for analyticsEvent taxonomies, data pipelines, analytics infrastructure
CASEAlignment to academic standards (Common Core, NGSS, state frameworks)Standards databases, crosswalk mappings
CLRPortable learner records across platformsTranscript formats, credential verification
Timeback extends these standards where necessary to support learning science requirements (mastery thresholds, XP calculations, closed-loop validation) while maintaining compatibility with the base specs.
Standards let apps work together. A tutoring app can read progress from an assessment app because both use the same data model.
