Artificial intelligence and data mining plays a fundamental role in improving the intelligence of education through special standards for improving teaching quality, better learning experience, predictive teaching, assessment method, effective decision-making, and improved data analysis. BD (Big Data) are also used to assess, detect, and anticipate decision-making, failure risk, and consequences to improve decision-making and maintain high-quality standards. According to the findings of this study, certain universities and governments have adopted BD to help students transition from traditional to smart digital education. Many obstacles remain in the way of complete adoption, including security, privacy, ethics, a scarcity of qualified specialists, data processing, storage, and interoperability. Learning today is getting smarter, thanks to the rapid development of the use of data and knowledge for big data analysis. Besides delivering real-world knowledge discovery applications, specialized data mining methodologies, and obstacles have real-world applications. Therefore, this article aims to explain the current concept of an intelligent learning environment in higher education. It explores the main criteria, and presents evaluation methods through the use of the proposed model.

This project presents the patterns and relations between attributes of Iran Higher Education data gained from the use of data mining techniques to discover knowledge and use them in decision making system of IHE. Large dataset of IHE is difficult to analysis and display, since they are significant for decision making in IHE. This study utilized the famous data mining software, Weka and SOM to mine and visualize IHE data. In order to discover worthwhile patterns, we used clustering techniques and visualized the results. The selected dataset includes data of five medical university of Tehran as a small data set and Ministry of Science - Research and Technology's universities as a larger data set. Knowledge discovery and visualization are necessary for analyzing of these datasets. Our analysis reveals some knowledge in higher education aspect related to program of study, degree in each program, learning style, study mode and other IHE attributes. This study helps to IHE to discover knowledge in a visualize way; our results can be focused more by experts in higher education field to assess and evaluate more.

The advent of the age of big data brings not only the rapid development of the Internet, scientific research, social networking and other fields, but also help and challenges to the application of library. For example, the library service applications in data storage, data mining, data analysis, etc. can identify hidden values behind the data only through systematic organization and analysis of massive structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, ​​in order to predict the future development of library and promote its better development.

The dynamics of higher education are changing and emphasize the need to adapt quickly. Higher education is under the supervision of accreditation agencies, governments and other stakeholders to seek new ways to improve and monitor student success and other institutional policies. Many agencies fail to make efficient use of the large amounts of available data. With the use of big data analytics in higher education, it can be obtained more insight into students, academics, and the process in higher education so that it supports predictive analysis and improves decision making. The purpose of this research is to implement big data analytical to increase the decision making of the competent party. This research begins with the identification of process data based on analytical learning, academic and process in the campus environment. The data used in this study is a public dataset from UCI machine learning, from the 33 available varibales, 4 varibales are used to measure student performance. Big data analysis in this study uses spark apace as a library to operate pyspark so that python can process big data analysis. The data already in the master slave is grouped using k-mean clustering to get the best performing student group. The results of this study succeeded in grouping students into 5 clusters, cluster 1 including the best student performance and cluster 5 including the lowest student performance

Big data has the variety of characteristics, such as real-time performance, timeliness short, and data mining analysis of large value generated. Application of big data in education can be reviewed in various aspects such as 1) providing students with appropriate teaching, 2) providing teaching support to teachers, and 3) providing information management for the administrations. This chapter can serve as a guide for the management of higher education institutions to recognize possible challenges in big data analytics and better prepare for them in future decision making.

With the rapid development of information technology, many universities have a relatively complete information platform, and a mass of data resources. Faced a lot of data, how the data is rational used and developed, to accomplish the transformation of knowledge that provide managers with basis for decision making, has become the focus of attention in universities. Data mining technology provide technical support for achieving this goal.

This paper examines the main issues regarding higher education in Korea—where college education experienced minimal interruptions—during the COVID-19 pandemic through a big data analysis of news articles. By analyzing policy responses from the government and colleges and examining prominent discourses on higher education, it provides a context for discussing the implications of COVID-19 on education policy and what the post-pandemic era would bring. To this end, we utilized BIgKinds, a big data research solution for news articles offered by the Korea Press Foundation, to select a total of 2636 media reports and conducted Topic Modelling based on LDA algorithms using NetMiner. The analyses are split into three distinct periods of COVID-19 spread in the country. Some notable topics from the first phase are remote class, tuition refund, returning Chinese international students, and normalization of college education. Preparations for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), contact and contactless classes, preparations for early admissions, and supporting job market candidates are extracted for the second phase. For the third phase, the extracted topics include CSAT and college-specific exams, quarantine on campus, social relations on campus, and support for job market candidates. The results confirmed widespread public attention to the relevant issues but also showed empirically that the measures taken by the government and college administrations to combat COVID-19 had limited visibility among media reports. It is important to note that timely and appropriate responses from the government and colleges have enabled continuation of higher education in some capacity during the pandemic. In addition to the media’s role in reporting issues of public interest, there is also a need for continued research and discussion on higher education amid COVID-19 to help effect actual results from various policy efforts.
