Big Data Analyses in the Community of Inquiry and Educational Research Spheres

Chapter 3 builds on the previous chapters and provides a summary of big data-style research within the Community of Inquiry scholarly literature, as well as examples from educational research broadly. This chapter also connects to the broader topics of machine learning, data analytics, learning analytics, and educational data mining. Constructs from the Community of Inquiry are integrated into this synthesis and overview. Unfortunately, only a fraction of the studies in educational research broadly today exhibit the tell-tale signs of big data: data volume and variety, new environments or instrumented sources of larger data, often with emerging tools and platforms critical to the analysis of the resulting datasets. A list of additional readings is provided.

This chapter aims to give an overview of the wide range of Big Data approaches and technologies today. The data features of Volume, Velocity, and Variety are examined against new database technologies. It explores the complexity of data types, methodologies of storage, access and computation, current and emerging trends of data analysis, and methods of extracting value from data. It aims to address the need for clarity regarding the future of RDBMS and the newer systems. And it highlights the methods in which Actionable Insights can be built into public sector domains, such as Machine Learning, Data Mining, Predictive Analytics and others.

In this chapter, the authors propose an overview on the use of learning analytics (LA) and educational data mining (EDM) in addressing issues related to its uses and applications in higher education. They aim to provide meaningful and substantial answers to how both LA and EDM can advance higher education from a large scale, big data educational research perspective. They present various tasks and applications that already exist in the field of EDM and LA in higher education. They categorize them based on their purposes, their uses, and their impact on various stakeholders. They conclude the chapter by critically analyzing various forecasts regarding the impact that EDM will have on future educational setting, especially in light of the current situation that shifted education worldwide into some form of eLearning models. They also discuss and raise issues regarding fundamentals consideration on ethics and privacy in using EDM and LA in higher education.

In developing countries such as Indonesia, a large number of academics are unfamiliar with the true meaning of terms such as Big Data, Exabyte, Petabyte, Brontobyte, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Data Warehousing, Distributed Processing, Grid Computing and Cloud Computing. In this paper, we report the results of a survey carried out to ascertain the current level of awareness regarding Big Data among academics in Vocational College. Respondents to a questionnaire formulated for this purpose. Results of the survey seem to indicate that there is a need for multi-faceted efforts aimed at creating awareness regarding Big Data, the related technologies, challenges and future prospects.
