Educational innovation ecosystem based on ethical, inclusive and efficient data science
A learning ecosystem can be broad and rich, full of innovative tools that foster learner interaction and engagement, but these must be fully integrated and adapted to make the environment inclusive and accessible to all. More recently, new AI-based functionalities are bringing to the fore ethical and data privacy issues that need to be addressed and supervised to ensure flexible and highly-personalized, but also secure and reliable learning environments.
