The COVID pandemic highlighted the increasing deployment of digital technologies in educational institutions, defined as 'edtech'. The most visible edtech was video conferencing software, but a swathe of edtech startups have sought to roll out their products and services to educational institutions. We focus specifically on the deployment of…

In the swiftly changing realm of education, technology serves as a key instrument in transforming the methods of teaching, learning experiences, and educational outcomes. Legal and governance issues, integral to maintaining order and justice in societies, are equally pertinent in the realm of education. The digital age introduces concerns like…

Amid the increasing reliance on digital tools and services in education, this article examines the datafication and commodification of student life in Denmark. We analyse the web and app (iOS and Android) versions of 45 tools and services that teachers in Danish public primary schools use as part of their teaching, the types of data generated by…

As a result of the growing commercial marketplace for teachers' digital data, a new organization that includes educational data brokers has evolved. Educational data brokerage is relatively intangible due to the ease of de-identified data being collected and sold via educational technology. There is an urgent need to expose how the brokerage of…

In the context of digital transformation processes in schools, the introduction of technology is often discussed in terms of the individualization and optimization of teaching, learning and school management. However, it is often neglected that technologies are preconfigured and provide socio-material offers that invite certain actions and thus…

This Toolkit presents lessons learned from the process of implementing a new system for collecting student-level work-based learning (WBL) data in high school career and technical education (CTE) programs. As part of a study on career academies and WBL, a research team worked closely with a district CTE office and school staff to design and…

Learning analytics (LA) involves the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, aiming to understand and optimize both the learning process and the environments in which it occurs. Among many themes that the LA community considers, natural language processing (NLP) algorithms have been widely…

The increased accessibility of technology is often employed as rationale for data extraction and surveillance. This paper examines critical perspectives on surveillance and educational technologies from Library and Information Science (LIS) literature, as well as those from disability studies that concern technology development more broadly. This…

The community-based learning model via game simulation to promote community public health diagnosis skills, or CBL model via game simulation, is a research tool that was devised based on the concepts of public health diagnosis using the seven community tools (geo-social mapping, genogram, community organization chart, local health system,…

Incorporating an evidence-based approach in STEM education using data collection and analysis strategies when learning about science concepts enhances primary students' discipline knowledge and cognitive development. This paper reports on learning activities that use the nature of viscosity and the power of informal statistical inference to build…

LearnSphere is a web-based data infrastructure designed to transform scientific discovery and innovation in education. It supports learning researchers in addressing a broad range of issues including cognitive, social, and motivational factors in learning, educational content analysis, and educational technology innovation. LearnSphere integrates…

Digital learning environments are becoming increasingly ubiquitous as a wide range of EdTech products and services enter classrooms and households across the globe. One salient attribute of these environments is their capacity to generate large amounts of data as students interact with the technology. These data logs can help construct a detailed…

This research aimed to determine the trends related to blended learning studies conducted in science education through descriptive content analysis. This study was performed using the document review method. For this purpose, 120 studies on blended learning in science education were determined between 2005 and 2022 in the Web of Science (WoS)…

Enrollment of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students in postsecondary education in the United States has been increasing over the past three decades (Chee, Shorty, and Robinson Kurpius 2019). The Tribal College Movement began more than 40 years ago with the establishment of the first tribally-controlled community college in 1968.…

Intelligent assessment, the core of any AI-based educational technology, is defined as embedded, stealth and ubiquitous assessment which uses intelligent techniques to diagnose the current cognitive level, monitor dynamic progress, predict success and update students' profiling continuously. It also uses various technologies, such as learning…
