Unleashing the power of educational data

In the framework of Action 10 (‘Artificial Intelligence & Analytics’) of the 2018 Digital Education Action Plan, the European Commission started exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and learning analytics in education to help to predict skills shortages and support education systems to respond to skills needs and trends.

As part of this effort, the Commission is supporting the development of two publicly available online services supporting higher education institutions interested in improving their educational programmes.

These services will provide valuable insights for education policy, and will allow higher education institutions to adapt to labour market needs and AI breakthroughs in specific economic sectors. This could massively help to predict skills shortages for the future and support education systems to develop targeted educational offers.

For more information on the two services, visit their website.

To make this a reality, the European Commission needs your help to gather insights on the needs of the higher education sector and the course descriptions of different higher education programmes in Europe.
