Educational Warehouse: Modular, Private and Secure Cloudable Architecture System for Educational Data Storage, Analysis and Access

Abstract

Data in the educational context are becoming increasingly important in decision-making and teaching-learning processes. Similar to the industrial context, educational institutions are adopting data-processing technologies at all levels. To achieve representative results, the processes of extraction, transformation and uploading of educational data should be ubiquitous because, without useful data, either internal or external, it is difficult to perform a proper analysis and to obtain unbiased educational results. It should be noted that the source and type of data are heterogeneous and that the analytical processes can be so diverse that it opens up a practical problem of management and access to the data generated. At the same time, ensuring the privacy, identity, confidentiality and security of students and their data is a “sine qua non” condition for complying with the legal issues involved while achieving the required ethical premises. This work proposes a modular and scalable data system architecture that solves the complexity of data management and access. On the one hand, it allows educational institutions to collect any data generated in both the teaching-learning and management processes. On the other hand, it will enable external access to this data under appropriate privacy and security conditions.

Sustained Improvement of Educational Information Asymmetry: Intentions to Use School Social Media

“…With the popularity and rapid development of information technologies, most schools are continuing to increase the construction of hardware and software information equipment and invest in the construction of digital service platforms to collect, store, and apply a large amount of data related to the overall educational process [24]. In general, the data collected, stored, and used in the educational process can be divided into four main categories [25,26]:…”

Design of Intelligent Management Platform for Industry–Education Cooperation of Vocational Education by Data Mining

“…Although this technology is not mature enough, many studies have provided technical support for it. Intelligent service platforms can realize the interconnection of information between main and substations, and improve the efficiency of information resource sharing [20]. The 3D virtual display on the web side and VR technology on the mobile side enable a more comprehensive display of teaching results [21].…”

Special Issue on Innovations in the Field of Cloud Computing and Education

“…Tobarra et al [8] developed a cloud game-based educational platform, which makes gamification techniques easily applicable within different educational fields by defining a modular and flexible architecture. Amo et al [9] proposed a cloudable modular data architecture system that simplifies data management in educational contexts, facilitating both data gathering and external access. Calatrava Arroyo et al [10] presented a cloud-based educational resource that deploys and orchestrates a realistic software programming environment, validated in a real class environment.…”
