Advanced analytics methods and intelligent applications in education

A set of advanced analytics methods is investigated aiming at easier and higher quality e-/m-learning or blended tutoring. Security systems (SS) have been considered as an example of difficult-to-learn area. The topic of the presented investigation are contemporary education threats that will lead to big problems in the nearest future. It is shown that today the prevention of such threats is almost impossible without applications of intelligent technologies. Even more, the contemporary education system should possess some features of intelligent technologies or smart systems and advanced analytics elements. Original results are presented on how to build more effective classical applications by using novel puzzle methods. It is shown that all the demonstrated advantages may be successfully combined with other known methods from e-learning, m-learning or other education fields. Also it is shown how the considered applications enhance the quality of teaching, improve the emotional connection between the teacher and students and hence serve their sustainable learning and development. It has been discussed that qualitative forms of education may not require the usage of expensive hardware.
