Application of the digital twin model in higher education

Globalization and technological development are the two main pillars of the basis of modern enterprises. Different business decisions want to determine the balance between the potential of the company and the demand for its products or services. Making decisions requires timely and accurate information obtained from management information systems. The technology of digital twins is a relatively new technology, which proves its value day by day through optimization during the development of projects. This study presents the application model of digital twin technology, which uses the NFC (near-field communication) protocol for user authentication and authorization. As a bridge between the natural and digital, we use the digital twin to create a copy of the services in a digital environment. NFC technology dramatically simplifies the interaction between mobile accessories and allows data transfer between devices. Our model collects the data and allows storing, analyzing, and using them for different purposes. We tested the proposed model with the decision tree and the k-means algorithms. The testing results showed that digital twins are fruitful and promising perspectives in effective future educational process planning.
