Abstract
In this article, we propose a new concept of information and communication technology on eduinformatics in higher education. Eduinformatics is a novel field of education that combines both education and informatics. Eduinformatics not only deals with students’ data but also provides new analysis methods and concepts to handle data in education, similar to bioinformatics. In September 2020, a subcommittee for universities from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology in Japan shared a perspective of the connection between education and research in universities in the future. In this paper, we assess our research question on how to connect education and research in universities to enhance the quality of higher education. To investigate this question, we introduce two practical examples from Kobe Tokiwa University in Japan, and we present results of recent eduinformatics. From these examples, we find that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the connection between education and research.
