CAUDIT and MortarCAPS are pleased to invite you to a session focused on practical strategies for implementing the MortarCAPS Higher Learning Data Standard (MCDS) to support data consistency, reduce duplication, and strengthen collaboration across Australian higher education.
This session will demonstrate how working together as a sector enables cost-effective, scalable adoption of MCDS — turning shared effort into shared value.
✅ How to implement MCDS in practical steps — including API integration between core systems (SIS, CRM, LMS), building analytics layers aligned to national and institutional reporting needs, and establishing shared data governance frameworks.
✅ How collaboration reduces cost and effort — with institutions pooling resources to co-develop reusable API specifications, analytics templates, and governance artefacts, all contributed to a global Pattern Library.
✅ How your institution can contribute to and benefit from sector-wide momentum — by aligning with CAUDIT-coordinated initiatives that accelerate adoption, minimise vendor lock-in, and future-proof integrations.
Key focus areas:
🔹 Streamlining core system integrations through shared API patterns
🔹 Co-developing analytics dashboards for benchmarking and compliance
🔹 Building trust and transparency through a common data governance model
🔹 Accessing and contributing to a global library of implementation artefacts
When: Friday 18 July 2025 12-1pm
Where: Online via Zoom webiner
