PristupačnostIn the last 10 years, data storage in the cloud has become a standard adopted by all stakeholders in the educational ecosystem. The collection of data on pupils and students and their analysis result in useful information that leads to the improvement of the educational process.
However, as the aforementioned data is collected, processed and managed on third-party servers, there is a risk of their unauthorized use, manipulation, and leakage. The SPADATAS project is aimed at the acquisition of digital competencies of students and teachers in schools related to the protection, privacy and confidentiality of data in the cloud and their responsible use. Thus, the project aims to provide 1) understanding and awareness to primary and secondary schools about what data-driven and decision-making imply for an educational institution, 2) which problems about data fragility are related to current educational technology and data academic management, and 3) provide tools and frameworks to protect privacy, security, and confidentiality of student’s data.
