As educational data mining takes higher ed by storm, colleges and universities must decide how and when to put Big Data to use.

Also known as learning analytics, the potential of big data has created a great hope to transform education. Big data tracks interaction and direct feedback between learners and teachers, continuous monitoring of progress and attendance, more opportunities for personalized learning and guided pathways to the students’ interests. The users generate all kinds of data, and from those choices, they can be taken from one activity to the next. It is the learning analytics factor of big data that can guide the students and teachers to better understand the trajectory of the learner’s progress, to adapt to the learner’s understanding of a subject, analyze his/her social relationship and network, as well as evaluate not only the quantity, but also the quality of the learner’s input. At the macro level, the analysis of this data can contribute to sound policy development by providing access to numerous factors from the environments, approaches, and pedagogies that bring about actual results.

This groundbreaking EdTech study examines the way that modern technology is bringing remarkable innovation into the educational sector; a field which has historically remained fairly fixed and traditional for centuries. The report analyses the degree to which education is being made into a universally accessible, innovative, personalized, and adaptive experience, and finds that the these changes will be pivotal for achieving the United Nations’ goal of universal education by 2015.

EDUCAUSE Review Online
Learning analytics holds increasing potential for student agency and autonomy, highlighting a need for ethical discourse at all levels of higher education institutions. Topics central to this dialogue include student awareness of analytics, the future of algorithms and learning analytics, and the redefinition of failure.

Learning Analytics is now moving from being a research interest to a wider community who seek to apply it in practice. As this happens, the challenge of efficiently and reliably moving data between systems becomes of vital practical importance. System interoperability can reduce this challenge in principle, but deciding where to drill down into the details will be easier with a view of the “big picture”.

Academic 15: Evaluating library and IT staff responses to disruption and change in higher education
Academic 15 (A15), an interview–based research project, explores the perceptions of university library and information technology (IT) staff related to the challenges impacting higher education as a result of technological advances. Faced with disruption on many fronts, academic library and IT staff have adapted and adopted a number of tools and processes to cope with accelerating change. This includes seeking out collaborative partnerships, working within financial constraints, discovering alternate funding sources, and experimenting with new roles in the evolving model of higher education. This paper presents findings to guide the future design and implementation of resilient support systems for library, educational technology, and IT staff.

Innovative design crosses over all aspects of education. The American Society for Innovation Design in Education, or ASIDE, seeks to infuse curriculum with new approaches to teaching and thinking. Integrating the design of information into the daily conversation is an essential part of the teacher's toolkit and the purpose of the ASIDE blog. The underpinning of innovation and educational design is based on looking at the information available and communicating meaning for a world of learners. Thinking like a designer can transform the way children learn. ASIDE's goal is to bring together as much information, resources and supportive scholarship in one place for teaching and learning.

With the shift to computerized testing, tablets in the classroom and digitized personal records, schools are collecting more data than ever on how children are doing. And all that data, some educators believe, can be put to use in the classroom. But privacy concerns may hinder that effort.
