Description

Emerging educational technologies and innovative practices are and can be used to address core global educational challenges, spanning from rethinking and transforming learning environments across educational contexts to effectively cultivating students' competencies for the innovative digital society of the future. This new volume showcases how digital analytics (DA) is one of these emerging new trends that uses new technologies to measure, collect, analyze, and report on data about learners and their contexts and to understand and optimize learning and learning environments.

The book looks at digital technologies as a means to foster sustainable educational innovations for improving the teaching, learning, and assessment from K-12 to higher education. Such technological tools for quantitative and qualitative data analysis and data mining techniques as artificial intelligence, deep learning, cloud computing, big data, machine learning are discussed in the context of educational digital analytics. This book traces the links to descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics to assess, evaluate, record, predict, and prescribe issues related to student progress, participation, performance, personalization, and empowerment in academic and curricular activities.

Taking into serious consideration the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all," the chapter authors explore a plethora of important themes, such as

• the benefits of digitization of education
• the role of digitalization in education and training in inclusive learning
• edtech digital platforms to support digitalization in education
• assessing student engagement, students' learning abilities and challenges, and student performance
• educational institutions' evaluation of employee job satisfaction levels
• the role of social media in the digitization of education, as well as a disruptor

• employing digital education for citizenship education
• and much more

Taking a holistic approach in the teaching and implementation of data tools from both micro and macro perspectives, Digital Analytics Applications for Sustainable Training and Education will be valuable to academic researchers, faculty and advanced students, educational administrators and policymakers, and others involved in the important field of education.
