The term Big Data has been coined to refer to the gargantuan bulk of data that cannot be dealt with by traditional data-handling techniques. Big Data is still a novel concept, and in the following literature, we intend to elaborate on it in a palpable fashion. It commences with the concept of the subject in itself, along with its properties and the two general approaches to dealing with it. Big Data provides an opportunity for educational Institutions to use their Information Technology resources strategically to improve educational quality, guide students to higher completion rates and improve student persistence and outcomes. This paper explores the attributes of big data that are relevant to educational institutions, investigates the factors influencing the adoption of big data and analytics in learning institutions, and seeks to establish the limiting factors hindering the use of big data in Institutions of higher learning. A survey research design was adopted in conducting this research, and Questionnaires were the instrument employed for data collection.
翻译:“Big Data”一词是用来指传统数据处理技术无法处理的大部分数据。“Big Data”仍是一个新概念,在以下文献中,我们打算以明显的方式加以阐述;它从主题本身的概念开始,连同其特性和处理它的两个一般办法;“Big Data”为教育机构提供了一个机会,利用信息技术资源战略性地提高教育质量,指导学生提高完成率,提高学生的坚持率和学习成绩。本文探讨与教育机构有关的大数据属性,调查影响采用大数据的因素和学习机构的分析,并设法确定妨碍高等教育机构使用大数据的限制因素。在进行这项研究时采用了调查研究设计,调查表是收集数据的工具。
