Now that predictive analytics are hotter than ever in higher education, it's probably a good idea to review a few fundamentals for those who are just starting to sip from the cup of possibilities. WHY PREDICTIVES? Predictive analytics have been...

Big Data has become a major buzzword, but many marketing specialists and salespeople still don't know what to do with the vast amount of information we have access to. And the companies that are using it often do so in a disjointed manner: Marketing gets the data but doesn't know what to do with it; the focus of Sales is on small, specific data, and so it would be overwhelmed with such a vast amount of information. It's rare that the two departments work together to benefit from shared information.
Big Data is being used in colleges and universities to help student's perform better. But not everybody agrees with this controversial practice.

MOOCs should be the Holy Grail of student data, but they aren't there yet. One of the great promises of massive open online courses, besides making education more accessible for more students, is the treasure trove of student data collected on a grand scale. Large amounts of data are exactly what higher education needs to stay relevant in this era of disruptive change, as Arizona State University's Adrian Sannier pointed out in his keynote at last year's Campus Technology annual conference. The only way to make sure colleges and universities are continually boosting student success, he said, is evidence-based pedagogy. And that requires scale: "You can't take evidence one class at a time, one person at a time — it takes too long, you don't get a broad enough sample…. I'm not sure you can do it at a university, at a single institution. You may not have enough scale, you may not have enough size."

As long as you and/or your executives are not ready to question your current beliefs, no amount of evidence will make you or them to act. Plan to deal with it.

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's CIO is pursuing a track that marries institutional data, predictions and business rules to create prescriptions for student and campus success. Here are his 12 best practices for prescriptive analytics.
Did you know that 86% of organizations are focused on reporting, but only 15% of HR functions have strong analytics capabilities? This leads to a disconnect between Learning and Development (L&D) and Corporate within organizations.

Course redesign can be a major undertaking, but utilizing the data derived from your existing course can inform your decisions on what areas need to be targeted. When you combine the four factors I mentioned and use them to form a holistic, summative picture of your course redesign project; you can be certain that what is currently working in your course remains, and what is not working is revised.

Educators, have you ever wondered if your students are really learning when you teach? Soon you’ll have to wonder no more.
Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge, Peter Mellow
At a conference devoted to exploring Big Data in higher education, the event’s keynote speaker had a surprisingly contrarian take on the subject. “Big Data is bull—,” Harper Reed, the chief technology officer of President Obama’s 2012 campaign, said to an audience that included many campus IT officials hoping to learn more about Big Data’s benefits. Reed, who used the power of data to help Obama secure reelection, said the term is just a marketing tool meant to drive college and university IT officials toward expensive technologies for storing and analyzing data.

The collection of data in higher education will never produce a single formula for success, no matter how much students clamor for such a miracle algorithm. That, along with other harsh realities of data collection and analysis on college campuses, was discussed during the “Allure of Big Data” session at the EDUCAUSE 2013 conference in Anaheim, Calif., where campus technologists from across the world gathered to discuss trends in educational technology.
