What compliance rules apply to education apps?
<p>In the US, FERPA protects student education records and COPPA requires parental consent for users under 13. GDPR applies in Europe, India's DPDP Act requires verifiable parental consent for children's data, and accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 apply widely.</p>
What are SCORM, xAPI and LTI?
<p>SCORM packages and tracks eLearning courses inside an LMS. xAPI tracks learning activities across apps and devices. LTI 1.3 lets external learning tools launch securely inside LMS platforms like Canvas, Moodle and Blackboard.</p>
How is AI used in education apps?
<p>AI is used for tutors that give step-by-step hints, quiz and question generation, personalized learning paths, grading support with teacher review, lesson-planning copilots, and translation or read-aloud features.</p>
