The development of new technologies and their expanding use in a wide range of educational environments are driving the transformation of higher education. Assistive technologies are a subset of cutting-edge technology that can help students learn more effectively and make education accessible to everyone. Assistive technology can enhance, maintain, or improve the capacities of students with learning difficulties. Students with learning difficulties will be greatly benefited from the use of assistive technologies. If these technologies are used effectively, students with learning difficulties can compete with their peers and complete their academic tasks. We aim to conduct this review to better understand the role of assistive technologies in providing inclusive higher education for students with learning difficulties. The review begins with the introduction of learning difficulties and their causes; inclusive education and the need for assistive technologies; the reasoning for conducting this review; and a summary of related reviews on assistive technologies for students with learning difficulties in inclusive higher education. Then, we discuss the preliminaries for the learning difficulties type and assistive technology. Later, we discuss the effects of assistive technology on inclusive higher education for students with learning difficulties. Additionally, we discuss related projects and support tools available in inclusive higher education for students with learning difficulties. We also explore the challenges and possible solutions related to using assistive technology in higher education to provide inclusive education for students with learning difficulties. We conclude the review with a discussion of potential promising future directions., Comment: Submitted to peer review

In the current digital era, data is budding tremendously from various sources like banks, businesses, education, entertainment, etc. Due to its significant consequence, it became a prominent proceeding for numerous research areas like the semantic web, machine learning, computational intelligence, and data mining. For knowledge extraction, several corporate sectors depend on tweets, blogs, and social data to get adequate analysis. It helps them predict the customer’s tastes and preferences, optimize the usage of resources. In some cases, the same data creates complications that lead to a problem named as big data. To solve this, so many researchers have given various solutions. Based on literature analysis formulated 6-s simulation towards big data, detailed information about characteristics, a taxonomy of tools, and discussed various processing paradigms. No one tool can truly fit for all solutions, so this paper helps to make decisions smoothly by providing enough information and discussing major privacy issues and future directions.
