Abstract
Massification of higher education is eminent throughout the world. The massification contributed on the one hand side to produce highly-skilled human resources for the society in mass. But on the other hand side, this transformation demanded that universities accept diverse set of students, in many cases also not ready for university-level education and in need of greater individual care. Since the massification also resulted in smaller resource per student, universities are asked to provide greater individual student care with less resource.
Digital technologies such as online learning or learning analytics have emerged separate from the massification phenomena of higher education. But they are promising technologies to provide greater individual student care to large group of students in cost and time efficient way and with greater accuracy and timeliness.
This paper discusses the issues which arose from the massification of higher education and the opportunities of digital technologies to meet those demands.
