About the Book
Digital analytics is an emerging new trend used in education to measure, collect, analyze, and report on data about learners and their contexts and to understand and optimize learning and learning environments. Taking into consideration the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all," this new 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. It demonstrates how artificial intelligence, deep learning, cloud computing, big data, and machine learning can be used to assess, evaluate, record, and predict student progress, participation, performance, personalization, and empowerment in academic and curricular activities.

Review :
“In an age of daily data generation approaching multiple petabyte size, the world really is drowning in information. Analyzing that data requires basic, intermediate, and advanced training that encompasses multiple stakeholders, e.g., students, teachers, consumers, regulators, investors, etc. There are many texts on data analytics, but this book takes a holistic approach in the teaching and implementation of data tools from both micro and macro perspectives. The idea that one needs to know only a single angle in this sea of data is unsustainable. One must take a broad view from multiple angles to attempt sustainability with data’s training, use, and governance. This book breaks ground in this arena and sets the stage for a new view on how we approach analytics. It is a must read.”
