Digital innovation in education: Perspectives, opportunities and challenges of educational open data and sensor data

The emergence of digital technologies and data has influenced every area of life, from business to education. Data are important not only for global economic growth, public services, and social change but also for education. To address the challenges of the digital shift, the ability to interpret data and make decisions based on those interpretations is becoming increasingly important for our younger generation. It will be imperative for future generations of students to be equipped with the necessary digital and data skills to face the challenges of a digital and data society. This paper will discuss the perspectives, future opportunities, and challenges of using educationally relevant open data and sensor data in schools to create new possibilities for digital and data innovation in secondary school education.
