13. “BIG DATA”
 “BIG DATA” is not new for astronomy, nuclear science,
genome research
 Genome research – to look for DNA footprints that
correlate with human diseases
 Education BIG DATA research – to look for footprints that
correlate most effective pedagogy with individuals
 eLearning makes data available for research
 How big is BIG? Territory wide data ?
 International education data interoperability
