What is BIG DATA?“

“

IBM – “Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data …”

McKinsey – “datasets whose size is beyond the ability of the typical database software tools to capture, store, manage and analyse.”

Wikipedia – “Big data sizes are a constantly moving target, as of 2012 ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set.”

Really?“

“

For education, today, its much less about HOW BIG IT IS, and much more

about WHAT YOU DO WITH IT.

Why should I care?“

“

Work out what BIG DATA means to you. National and Regional Government, Federations and Trusts, School Leaders and Practitioners, Learners and all Stakeholders in the Learning process. All have a take.

Talking about Big Data provides a catalyst to explore what data we have access to, how we can use it, and discover in what ways that can help to support the processes in running effective and efficient organisations and to improve learning outcomes for all.

Understanding how we can APPLY Big Data to Learning is important as it can give us valuable insight into what works well, and how to replicate it.
