What We Can Do For You
DSI enables subscriber districts to upload local assessments from your data system directly into DSI's secure data warehouse. Then we program your data to display on DSI screens so you can analyze and compare results for local, state, and national assessments. DSI screens are hosted on MyIIRC, the password-protected web platform for public school educators at http://iirc.niu.edu/myiirc.
