Benefits of bringing big data analytics into education.

Benefits of bringing big data analytics into education. (#1)


Big data analytics are used in our daily life and in various aspects. The researches show that 93% of students search for information online instead of going to the library. The database of education could fluctuate wildly and cover various and complex contents. Therefore, building up a database website or platform for students could bring benefits and convenience.
First of all, it can improve student performance. Compares to traditional ways of paper, using tech-savvy can track students' notes and processes. The system can gather the data, which provides them as the datasets to help to customize the program. 
So second is to create a customized learning program for each student. Everyone will have different assignments that focus to strengthen their weaknesses by tracking the data. The best situation is that customize the course materials, which can provide self-correct systems, base on different students’ abilities and schemes. Different learning schedules can help inclusive education becoming easier to promote and blending into the mainstream. 
The third advantage big data can bring is to lower dropout and to learn from the results. Since the conditions of each student are tracked by the school. After finding out which student would have the chance to drop out, the school will provide some after-school tutoring or help them to choose a more suitable course for them. Furthermore, the system can help the students to get a job by analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. 
Although big data analysis could accommodate different students’ needs and boost performance, we should notice the potential risk. Schools should be aware of some privacy issues while adopting and adapting big data technology to enhance students learning effectiveness.

    By reading this article, it is quite surprise that the big data is also use on education.

    As the article says, most of the students search the information on the internet instead of going to the library. Because the Web has a very large databases of information on it. Moreover, big data comes from collecting a large amount of digital activity data about students, parents, teachers, and staff, which is then transformed into information, and then used to develop school improvement proposals.

    I have read some articles before about how the big data improve on the educational, for example, first, AI calculation tools developed through big data can become an important aid to teaching innovation. From kindergarten to research institute, the key to the influence of artificial intelligence in the education world is customized learning. This has already been used in many learning disabilities adjustment programs, games, and software.

    Second, there is a school using an app to allow teachers to track student learning on the spot and give tips to help them get the correct answers. Professor Vincent believe that it not only makes teaching become more efficient, but also can collect and analyze large amounts of data from thousands of students. On the other hand, it can connect students who have passed the test with difficulties and give them opportunities for interactive learning.

    Under the concept of big data, the school learning system can provide feedback on individual learning experiences. In the big data system, the learning assessment will be mainly based on the students' social connections and interactions, or the tracking of their learning behavior on the computer teaching aids, rather than individual or traditional classroom experience.

How Big Data Can Boost Weather Forecasting

張岳庭 D0741017 Source:  https://www.wired.com/insights/2013/02/how-big-data-can-boost-weather-forecasting/ Considering the number of variables involved and the complex interactions between these variables, weather forecasting has always been extremely challenging. The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year. According to the professor of economics and finance , Alan Anderson, PhD , “Example of an application of big data to weather forecasting is IBM’s Deep Thunder. Unlike many weather forecasting systems...
