I look at the last 20 years of progress in educational technology and while have made great strides in improving interoperability, we have moved from having each campus 100% maintaining possession their learner's private data to the point where the there is no learner private data under the direct control of many universities.  Private student data is often spread across 15 or more vendor systems.  It is time to understand and explore the trade off of  outsourcing student identity and private learning data to third party vendors.  This is a problem that is 20 years in the making - it will take some time to get to a better place in the educational technology marketplace with respect to protecting learner privacy data.
