PROBLEM
As more and more learners use digital resources in their education, they produce increasingly more data form their learning activities.
This is data that the person who are closest to the learner have problems tapping into. The teacher should know about all digital learning activities of their learners.
SOLUTION
For the teachers to get knowledge about the digital learning activities of their learners. This information should be managed by the educational institution. When the educational institution manage all data produced by their learners, they decide how this data should be used to provide better education services.
Managing the use of this information are controlled by the learners through consent.

A to Z
A to Z is an online solution that creates more conscious students.
The students evaluate their contribution to a good learning environment and efforts in their subjects.
A to Z creates an increased degree of in-depth learning through raising awareness among students about their own learning process. The focus is on what they learn from their own perspective and how they affect the learning environment in the classroom in a positive way.
Teacher gets the feedback from the students in one place which makes it easier to adapt to the individual student's needs.
INFRASTUCTURE
Based on global ISO and IEC standards, we develop an infrastructure that informs the learning technology that learners are using where data from the learning activities should be stored. Where this is stored should be up to the educational institution.
When all information produced digitally by the learners is controlled by the educational institution, they can also choose which services will process this data to add value to the teacher, pupil, school owner and parents.
When the educational institution has control over this information, it will also be easier to comply with the GDPR rules. If the educational institution wishes to use the learners´ data in new services, they must obtain the consent of the parents. Since the purpose of using the learning activity data is improved learning, it will be easier for the educational institution to obtain this necessary consent from the parents since they have confidence in the institutions' intentions and tasks.
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
