Winner of two Outstanding Book Awards from the Association of
Educational Communications and Technology (Culture, Learning, &
Technology and Systems Thinking & Change divisions)! Rapid
advancements in our ability to collect, process, and analyze
massive amounts of data along with the widespread use of online and
blended learning platforms have enabled educators at all levels to
gain new insights into how people learn. Responsible Analytics and
Data Mining in Education addresses the thoughtful and purposeful
navigation, evaluation, and implementation of these emerging forms
of educational data analysis. Chapter authors from around the world
explore how data analytics can be used to improve course and
program quality; how the data and its interpretations may
inadvertently impact students, faculty, and institutions; the
quality and reliability of data, as well as the accuracy of
data-based decisions; ethical implications surrounding the
collection, distribution, and use of student-generated data; and
more. This volume unpacks and explores this complex issue through a
systematic framework whose dimensions address the issues that must
be considered before implementation of a new initiative or program.

As schools continue to explore the transition from traditional
education to teaching and learning online, new instructional design
frameworks are needed that can support with the development of
e-learning content. The e-learning frameworks examined within this
book have eight dimensions: (1) institutional, (2) pedagogical, (3)
technological, (4) interface design, (5) evaluation, (6)
management, (7) resource support, and (8) ethical. Each of these
dimensions contains a group of concerns or issues that need to be
examined to assess and develop an institutions e-capability in
order to introduce the best e-learning practices. Challenges and
Opportunities for the Global Implementation of E-Learning
Frameworks presents global perspectives on the latest best
practices and success stories of institutions that were able to
effectively implement e-learning frameworks. An e-learning
framework is used as a guide to examine e-learning practices in
countries around the globe to reflect on opportunities and
challenges for implementing quality learning. In this book,
therefore, tips for success factors and issues relevant to failures
will be presented along with an analysis of similarities and
differences between several countries and educational lessons.
While highlighting topics such as course design and development,
ICT use in the classroom, and e-learning for different subjects,
this book is ideal for university leaders, practitioners in
e-learning, continuing education institutions, government agencies,
course developers, in-service and preservice teachers,
administrators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking knowledge on how e-learning
frameworks are being implemented across the globe.

It is not enough for an instructor to merely present facts to their
students; the presentation of information must be made accessible
and understandable in the context of the student. As communication
technologies become more widely available, traditional educational
institutions are no longer the only source of information. What is
now necessary is to reconsider what makes for meaningful education
and apply those practices to digital natives. Revolutionizing
Modern Education through Meaningful E-Learning Implementation
evaluates the means by which online education can be improved and
systematically integrated more fluidly into traditional learning
settings, with special focus on the ethical, pedagogical, and
design aspects of building online courses. This publication aims to
elucidate the rewards and follies of online education for
educators, administrators, programmers, designers, and students of
education.
The design of various virtual environments should be based on the
needs of a diverse population of users around the globe. Interface
design should be user centric and should strive for making the
user's interaction as simple, meaningful, and efficient as
possible. User Interface Design for Virtual Environments:
Challenges and Advances focuses on challenges that designers face
in creating interfaces for users of various virtual environments.
Chapters included in this book address various critical issues that
have implications for user interface design from a number of
different viewpoints. This book is written for professionals who
want to improve their understanding of challenges associated with
user interface design issues for globally-dispersed users in
various virtual environments.
