Topic
Data analytics and digital strategy - the future of learning
Abstract
The explosion of data and rapid advances in digital technologies are fueling what's been coined "digital disruption" across all sectors. For example, digital disruption is challenging conventional learning, teaching and research models in Higher Education and causing upheaval on a scale that has never been seen before. Central to this is a relatively simple concept: data and information can now be moved around more quickly than ever before. In this talk I will explore a number areas where change is happening, and some examples of how we've used data science to inform strategy decisions, help to understand our student population and ideas for new and more sophisticated insight generation using new data sources.
