Education and big data

Let's talk about Big Data in Education, according to the papers.

First, a definition: in education, ‘big data’ are: 1) the purposeful or incidentalrecording of interactions in digitally-mediated, network-interconnected learning environments; 2) the large, varied, immediately available and persistent datasets that are generated; and 3) the analysis and presentation of the data generated for the purposes of learner and teacher feedback, institutional accountability, educational software design, learning resource development, and educational research (Cope & Kalantzis, 2015a).

N​ow, what its happening into this new era? How we can follow up the individual part of our students?

In recent years, a group of organizations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, and EDUCAUSE have crafted a definition of “personalized learning” that rests on four pillars:

Each student should have a “learner profile” that documents his or her strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and goals;

Each student should pursue an individualized learning path that encourages him or her to set and manage personal academic goals.

Students’ learning environments should be flexible and structured in ways that support their individual goals.

I​t's important make feel the students confortables and be heard.
