Reviews “In an age of daily data generation approaching multiple petabyte size, the world really is drowning in information. Analyzing that data requires basic, intermediate, and advanced training that encompasses multiple stakeholders, e.g., students, teachers, consumers, regulators, investors, etc. There are many texts on data analytics, but this book takes a holistic approach in the teaching and implementation of data tools from both micro and macro perspectives. The idea that one needs to know only a single angle in this sea of data is unsustainable. One must take a broad view from multiple angles to attempt sustainability with data’s training, use, and governance. This book breaks ground in this arena and sets the stage for a new view on how we approach analytics. It is a must read.” —From the Foreword by John Paul Broussard, PhD, CFA, FRM, PRM, Professor and Director of Online MSF Program, University of Oklahoma, USA Emerging educational technologies and innovative practices are and can be used to address core global educational challenges, spanning from rethinking and transforming learning environments across educational contexts to effectively cultivating students’ competencies for the innovative digital society of the future. This new volume showcases how digital analytics (DA) is one of these emerging new trends that uses new technologies to measure, collect, analyze, and report on data about learners and their contexts and to understand and optimize learning and learning environments.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
