OECD Digital Education Outlook 2021
Pushing the Frontiers with Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Robots
How might digital technology and notably smart technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI), learning analytics, robotics, and others transform education? This book explores such question. It focuses on how smart technologies currently change education in the classroom and the management of educational organisations and systems. The book delves into beneficial uses of smart technologies such as learning personalisation, supporting students with special learning needs, and blockchain diploma credentialing. It also considers challenges and areas for further research. The findings offer pathways for teachers, policy makers, and educational institutions to digitalise education while optimising equity and inclusivity.

Classroom analytics: Zooming out from a pupil to a classroom
The term “learning technologies” usually refers to the activities that one or a few learners perform on a digital device. How do technologies take into account the fact that a classroom has many more learners? Classroom analytics provide teachers with real-time support for class management: monitoring the engagement of learners in a class; deciding when and how to intervene in their learning activities; reusing the output from one activity in another one; forming student groups; integrating the learner’s production in a lecture; deciding when to shift to another activity; or helping teachers to regulate their own behaviour. This chapter describes the classroom itself as a digital system. It speculates on how this vision can come true, and what can already be learned from it, namely the critical role of teachers in the success of digital education.
