Big Data
4
Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of
data — so much that 90% of the data in the
world today has been created in the last two
years alone.
This data comes from everywhere: sensors
used to gather climate information, posts to
social media sites, digital pictures and videos,
purchase transaction records, and cell phone
GPS signals to name a few.

And are we having the
needed impact in education?

Are we still
Hunting and Gathering?
7
Never in human history have we
hunted for so much data, information
and knowledge.
Never in human history have we
gathered so much that is useful but not
used.

"When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one
computer and it took up a whole building. The
computer in your cell phone today is a million
times cheaper and a thousand times more
powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years
from now will fit into a blood cell and will again
be millions of times more cost effective."

Significant shift in thinking
about research impact
Passive push
(until 1970s+)
Push harder
(1990s+)
Partner & pull
(2000+)
• Dissemination via
traditional journals,
conferences
• Focus on implementation,
e.g. performance feedback
• Linkage & exchange, e.g.
joint production

– Gamification

We need to be creative:
In order to create the “ideal” future, you need a lot of
ideas from which to choose otherwise the future tends
to look like a linear extension of what already exists.
Or
If you want to know what the future is,
be part of its development. (Peter Drucker)
