One of the most significant aspects of 3D printing for education is that it enables more authentic exploration of objects that may not be readily available to universities or otherlearningproviders. ICT Trends
11. Learninganalitics Learning analytics, in many ways, is “big data,” appliedtoeducation. Sophisticated web tracking tools within these settings already can track precise student behaviors, recording variables such as number of clicks and time spent on a page, and increasingly more nuanced information such as resilience and retention of concepts.
