Emerging technologies in education: Potential and challenges of personalization through AI and Blockchain

Main Article Content

Yassine El Bahlouli

Abstract

This article examines how learning analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technology are transforming the personalization of education. By exploring recent literature, it identifies the contributions and challenges of these technologies in enhancing educational pathways. The analysis suggests that the integration of these technologies offers unique opportunities for the personalization of learning, while raising important questions about security, privacy, and equity. The convergence of AI, learning analytics, and blockchain technology promises a revolution in the way education is delivered and received, allowing for precise adaptation to each learner's profile. However, this technological integration requires deep reflection on ethical and regulatory frameworks to ensure that the personalization of education benefits everyone, without compromising data security or exacerbating inequalities. The article advocates for close collaboration between technological developers, educators, and policymakers to address these challenges and fully exploit the potential of these emerging technologies in education.
