ABSTRACT

The rise of information technology has only just begun to impact education. Educational analytics offer the potential for better tuning of teaching to the needs of individual students. The applications range from the analysis of student behavior in the content-oriented platforms to predict their grades to text analysis of email exchanges to improve massive open online courses. The category of administrative platforms makes it easier to update students and their parents on changes in the schedule, inform them on events. Administrative platforms have the big advantage of integrating various separate systems and even manual processes, e.g., student communication, resource administration, and enrollment. The school has to provide additional reporting and explanation to justify its use of the content platform and its recognition within the national system as a fully accredited institution. Coordinating, distributing, and tracking are easily done using administrative platforms that facilitate submitting and commenting of work.
