Abstract
The study systematically reviews the integration of Fog and Edge Computing within Learning Analytics to enhance data privacy and security in educational settings that use cloud computing. Employing the PRISMA methodology, we analyze current literature from Web of Science and Scopus databases to examine how these decentralized computing technologies can mitigate the risks associated with centralized cloud storage by processing data closer to its source. Our findings highlight the significant potential of Fog and Edge Computing to transform Learning Analytics by enabling real-time, context-aware data analysis that supports personalized learning while ensuring stringent data privacy. This approach challenges conventional data management practices, advocating for privacy by design in developing new strategies and frameworks. The research underscores the need for collaborative efforts in establishing standards and guidelines for secure and effective technology use in education, pointing towards the necessity of addressing technical, operational, and ethical challenges to maximize the benefits of fog and edge computing in Learning Analytics.
本研究系统地回顾了学习分析中雾计算和边缘计算的整合情况,以提高使用云计算的教育环境中的数据隐私和安全性。采用 PRISMA 方法,我们分析了来自 Web of Science 和 Scopus 数据库的现有文献,以研究这些分散式计算技术如何通过在更靠近数据源的地方处理数据来降低与集中式云存储相关的风险。我们的研究结果凸显了雾计算和边缘计算在改变学习分析方面的巨大潜力,它们可以实现实时、上下文感知的数据分析,从而支持个性化学习,同时确保严格的数据隐私。这种方法对传统的数据管理实践提出了挑战,主张在制定新战略和框架时通过设计来保护隐私。这项研究强调,有必要通力合作,为在教育领域安全、有效地使用技术制定标准和准则,并指出有必要解决技术、操作和道德方面的挑战,以最大限度地发挥雾计算和边缘计算在学习分析中的优势。
期刊介绍:
Computers in Human Behavior is a scholarly journal that explores the psychological aspects of computer use. It covers original theoretical works, research reports, literature reviews, and software and book reviews. The journal examines both the use of computers in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields, and the psychological impact of computer use on individuals, groups, and society. Articles discuss topics such as professional practice, training, research, human development, learning, cognition, personality, and social interactions. It focuses on human interactions with computers, considering the computer as a medium through which human behaviors are shaped and expressed. Professionals interested in the psychological aspects of computer use will find this journal valuable, even with limited knowledge of computers.
