Analyzing and modeling complex and big data
The following video raised some interesting points that I will investigate further when considering learning analytics and big data this week:
- How big is big data?
- What to be careful not to miss when using big data?
- Why do patterns emerge from big data and do we address them and learn from them?
Professor Maria Fasli reminds us that that we should ‘mind the gap’ between big data and hypotheses to avoid missing the opportunity to discover new knowledge.
