There was a nice article published on GovDataDownload today about the potential for big data to impact the business of higher education. The material does a nice job of explaining big data in simple concepts, then cites an excellent example of how it can help the bottom line of a university directly. Perhaps more importantly, the article closes with a mention of big data being used to help with learning analytics by “helping identify predictors and patterns for student success”, which is near and dear to my heart as a former educator.
