Question

How are big data, machine learning, and data science affecting the field of education?

Answer 1

All sorts of data analysis have been used in the field of education for years to analyze enrollments and performance among different groups of people, response to novel teaching methods, etc. So the main headlines from big data/data science aspects seem to be just the availability of more data, e.g. from online education. This data is more global and can help us in understanding how different students learn.

Machine learning, on the other hand, is a newcomer. But it has already affected the admission process at universities as basic machine learning algorithms are used for selecting the candidates. In the future, you can expect it to become even more prominent and possibly even extend to the entire decision-making process for admissions.
