Learning Analytics for Cloud-based Education Planning

The ongoing digital revolution is having a significant impact on homes and communities worldwide, affecting access to information, communication, learning, and sports. One of the most significant changes brought about by this revolution is the shift from traditional classroom-based education to virtual and hybrid online learning environments. Higher education institutions, in particular, are recognizing the value of online educational programs, which allow them to expand their digital pre se n ce, increase access to their programs, and reach students beyond their physical borders. The advancements in educational technology made possible by the 4th Industrial Revolution are also allowing for more flexible, engaging, and accessible learning experiences for both students and teachers. However, there remains a significant gap in terms of education planning, access to digital learning tools, and engagement among stakeholders. This research uses data analytics to examine cl oud-based digital learning tools, education stakeholder engagement, and education access. The findings provide insight for academic stakeholders, particularly governments, private sector, and educational investors, on ways to bridge the gaps between access and engagement for students and teachers.
