Educational Applications of Big Data and Learning Analytics in Personalized E-Learning

There is plenty of research on the use of Big educational data, learning analytics, semantics-based knowledge modeling, and other innovative technologies within an educational environment for improving learning and tutoring. Each of these research fields is very wide and complex, and different researchers usually concentrate their work only on one or two of them and on the related subfields. The authors believe that high-quality personalized learning requires the integration of all these technologies into one intelligent educational system. Hence, the paper proposes an integrated model for combining big data learning analytics, and intelligent technologies for personalized learning and discusses the role of these technologies in achieving a more efficient learning process and interoperability between e-learning systems.
