Education informatics is an emerging sub-discipline of education and informatics that "incorporate[s] new technologies and learning strategies to enhance the capture, organization, and utilization of information within the field of education."[1] While this sub-discipline typically covers K-12 and higher education, it is easily expanded to business- and enterprise-level education.
Education informatics encompasses[2]:
- logistics and administration;
- systems development (e.g. teaching/learning platforms and assessment tools);
- meta-systems development (e.g. curriculum maps and outcome frameworks);
- content and knowledge management; and
- standards development.
Note that "education informatics" is distinct from "informatics education," a term that relates more to the practice of teaching and/or learning about informatics, rather than the use of information science and technology in the support of teaching and learning.
