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.

Learning analytics for school and system management
Learning analytics for educational organisations has been a topic of discussion for the past decade. Yet, there are few examples of organisation-wide systematic and holistic adoptions of learning analytics. This chapter explores actionable frameworks and adopting models that could help successfully integrate learning analytics into educational organisations in an organisational change approach. While higher education organisations are aware of learning analytics and have started experimenting with dashboards for students and teachers this is far from organisational transformation. Research on the implementation and practice of learning analytics in K-12 schools is also scarce.A look at adoption models and policy recommendations in a broader international context may help push isolated experiments with learning analytics into the mainstream.
